Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Is this me?
G 
Asus4 
I'll say it to myself
A 
D 
So you don't think that I'm crazy
Em 
Asus4 
This club is soulless
A 
D 
and I think that I would rather be
Bm 
A 
G 
Writing the pages of a book
A 
D 
that you'll read quietly
G 
Inside your house or by yourself,
A 
D 
that's where I wanna be
Rock and roll
Em 
Asus4 
A 
I never aimed to earn a  stage
D 
or to sell my soul
Em 
G 
Asus4 
I'd rather write a book
A 
D 
with characters whose lives unfold
Bm 
A 
G 
And bring you coffee
A 
in the morning
D 
when outside it's cold
G 
While you read the first draft,
A 
D 
are you saying this is gold?
In a dream
A 
Asus4 
That's where I am
A 
D 
until I find the literary stream
G 
Asus4 
A 
And then I'll swim to       save my life
D 
A 
And write a book about your wife
Bm 
A 
G 
And how she sits inside
A 
her house all day
D 
and writes and writes
G 
The pages bound,
A 
the crowd applauding
D 
and the writers fair
G 
A 
Each person takes a copy home to bed
D 
and  holds it there
Hold to them
Hold to them
F 
Ab 
Eb 
Hold to them you
