Bm#5addC x20010
C Bm#5addC Am G
I make my living with paper and pencil
F G C G
And an old guitar
C Bm#5addC Am G
I use melody and words that rhyme
F G
To tug at other's hearts
F C
But mine is still too tender
F G C C-Em-F
To put her on a page
F Em
'cause I'd have to remember
Dm G
The day she went away
C G
I can't Write that, I'd have to sing it
C Dm Em F
And if I sung it, I'd have to live it
C G
And if I lived it, it would kill me
Am G F Em
'cause she ain't ever comin' back
Dm G C
And that's too sad, I can't write that
Bm#5addC Am F
C Bm#5addC Am G
I know memories last forever Whenever
F G C G
you put 'em in a song
C Bm#5addC Am G
But I can't take the chance that this one would be a big one
F G
And they'd play it on and on
F C
'cause when it comes to her love
F G C C-Em-F
I get choked up and break down
F Em
These feelings are just to much
Dm G
to share with you right now
C G
I can't Write that, I'd have to sing it
C Dm Em F
And if I sung it, I'd have to live it
C G
And if I lived it, it would kill me
Am G F Em
'cause she ain't ever comin' back
Dm G C
And that's too sad, I can't write that
Bm#5addC Am G F G
Am G F Em Dm
She ain't ever comin' back and thats too sad
G C
I can't write that
