A tender violin on my [F] strum.
[Am] Shouldn't feel this way when I'm oh so young.
The trees whisper in gentle autumn night
about rumors that are coming with the dark and dusty fight.
[F] So you whip up a poem about teardrops and [Am] emptiness,
but does it do shit to help you with your [F] brokenness?
Yeah, you got likes and views and fans,
but [Am] does it work, hey, sir, like you hope that it can?
[F] So I turn to the bad, yeah, bottle of sin.

[F] Spend hours a day wasting time on my phone,
[Am] pushing them away cause I want to be alone.
[F] Hold me tender as the night time falls.

[Am] but the author cut us off?
A mother from her dove, [F] all the right words that I wrote on the page.
[Am] Couldn't fix our built up pent-in rage,
[F] so I tear the book apart and I want to start anew,
but [Am] those pages just keep on going.

I [Am] see the same messed up character that I became.
I [F] hope you write yourself.
A brand new book, [Am] a new protagonist,
a new enticing hook, a [F] new bad guy, even if it's me.

Inside my wrinkled soul, let's take a deep look.
[D] The joyful chapter's right around the bend.
[C] Know my novel, I can happily end.
[F] The ink scribbles away in the endless black abyss,
[Am] so I try to replace it with a tender written kiss,
[F] then I see it slowly coming up the page.
[Am] It's the happiness that I lost far away,
[F] so I face the sun as it shines upon my pen.
[Am] I accept those good feelings, just letting them in.
[F] It's all going away, for I've scribbled it down,
[Am] because I know that you're okay and that's the ending to my frown.
[F] I'm not the one to bite your smile.
[Am] That's when I realized it, it all settled in.
I [F] truly wish you the best with your book.
[Am] Love you still, even though I'm your Captain Hook.
