Eb5
she's writing, she's writing

she's writing a novel
B5
she writing, she's weaving

conceiving a plot
Db5
it quickens, it thickens

you can't put it down now
Eb5
it takes you, it shakes you

it makes you lose your thought


Eb5
but you're caught in your own glory

you are believing your own stories


Db5
writing your own headlines

ignoring your own deadlines
Eb5
but now you've gotta write that all again


Db5                      Gb5
you think she's an open book
B5                        Db5          Gb5
but you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
you think she's an open book
but you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
do you? do you?

you want her, confront her
just open your window
unbold it unlock it
unfasten your latch
you want it, confront it
just open your window
all you really have to do is ask

but you're caught on your glory
you are believing your own stories

timing your contractions
inventing small contraptions
that roll across your polished hard wood floors

you think she's an open book
but you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
you think she's an open book
but you don't know which page to turn to, do you?
do you? do you?
