               G
She picks up a pen

              D
Writes down a word

                A
It doesn't feel right

              G
The novelty's gone

                D
The novel rolls on

               A
Until it's goodnight

            G
Will anyone read

               D
Much less understand

                   A
This thing she has made?

            G
Will anyone see

                  D
The truth of this thing

                 A
When it sees the light?

A                G
Love is what you are

             D  A
Not what you do

                G
I know what you are

      D    A
And I love you

                 G
The dream of her man

              D
Propels her along

           A
Into her demise

                 G
The hollowed out laugh

                   D
At the back of her throat

                A
The film of her eyes

                G
She hardly puts down

                   D
This thing she has bound

              A
Before she forgets

               G
She writes the end

D                    A
  But there is no surprise

A                G
Love is what you are

             D  A
Not what you do

                G
I know what you are

      D    A
And I love you

A                G
Love is what you are

             D  A
Not what you do

                G
I know what you are

      D    A
And I love you

      D    A
And I love you

      D    A
And I love you
G A
