Capo on 4th fret Poet By Bastille Intro (whistling): C# F#m E G F Bb C G D Obsession it takes control, C F C G D Obsession it eats me whole, Em D G I can't say the words out loud, Em D C So in a rhyme I wrote you down, D G Now you'll live through the ages, C D C I can feel your pulse in the pages. G D Whoa Whoa oa C G I have written you down, Em D Now you will live forever, C G And all the world will read you, Em D And you will live forever, C Em In eyes not yet created, C G On tongues that are not born, C G I have written you down, Em D Now you will live forever. Whistling: Em G Em D F C G D Your body lies upon the sheets, C F C D Of paper and words so sweet, Em D G I can't say the words, Em D G So I wrote you into my verse, C D G Now you'll live through the ages, C D C I can feel your pulse in the pages. C I have read her with these eyes, Em I've read her with these eyes, G D I have held her in these hands. F C G I have written you down, Em D Now you will live forever, C G The virtues in the verse, Em And you will live forever. Chorus Whistling: G D Bm Em B A G You will live forever Tabbed and transposed by James Brockman, using Chordify
