G5
She picks up a pen
              D5
Writes down a word
                A5
It doesn't feel right

              G5
The novelty's gone
                D5
The novel rolls on
               A5
Until it's goodnight

            G5
Will anyone read
               D5
Much less understand
                   A5
This thing she has made?

            G5
Will anyone see
                  D5
The truth of this thing
                 A5
When it sees the light?

A5                G5
Love is what you are
             D5  A5
Not what you do
                G5
I know what you are
      D5    A5
And I love you

                 G5
The dream of her man
              D5
Propels her along
           A5
Into her demise

                 G5
The hollowed out laugh
                   D5
At the back of her throat
                A5
The film of her eyes

                G5
She hardly puts down
                   D5
This thing she has bound
              A5
Before she forgets

               G5
She writes the end
D5                    A5
  But there is no surprise

A5                G5
Love is what you are
             D5  A5
Not what you do
                G5
I know what you are
      D5    A5
And I love you

A5                G5
Love is what you are
             D5  A5
Not what you do
                G5
I know what you are
      D5    A5
And I love you
      D5    A5
And I love you
      D5    A5
And I love you

G5 A5
