WRITTEN INVITATION - a rough layout
(A - A7 - D - Dm)
Freeze me with your smile and say my name.
And I'm already gone.
(D - Bm - D - Bm)
If you're on the 118, I'll find you on the 118.
(A - A7 - D - Dm)
And if you want, I'll talk.
And break my head. The spotlight stares in off.
(D - Bm - Bm)
If you're on the 118, I'll find you on the 118.
(A - Dsus2/B - Dsus2/A - D - A - Dsus2/B - Dsus2/A - D)
I swear I care what you wear.
All your thoughts rolled up and down your sleeves.
And I need to see a written invitation please.
(A - E)
(A - A7 - D - Dm)
So if you are my fire, then yell my name.
And up, I'm ready on.
(D - Bm - D Bm)
If you're on the 118, I'll find you on the 118.
(A - Dsus2/B - Dsus2/A - D - A - Dsus2/B - Dsus2/A - D)
I swear I care what you wear.
All your thoughts rolled up and down your sleeves.
And I need to see a written invitation please.
Yeah I need to see a written invitation please.
Yeah I need to see a written invitation
(A - E)
