Introdução: Bm7 Am7 Bm7 Am7
Bm7
A writer has the empty page
Am7
Where he can set the scene
Bm7
He puts the actors on the stage
Am7
Or on the movie screen
Em7 Eb+
The characters all say the words
Em7 G(b5)/Db
The writer wants to hear
C#7
And then, my friend
F#4 F#7
A happy end
Bm7
But when the writer steps outside
Am7
That room where he is king
Bm7
He can't control when lives collide
Am7
Or what the lovers sing
Em7 Eb+
And so he hides behind his words
Em7 G(b5)/Db
The one place he belongs
C#7
And in black and white
F#4 F#7 Bm7 Bm/Ab G7M Bm/Ab
He can rewrite the wrongs
Am7
Where he can find the strength to say
G7M
What those he loves should hear
Am7
And just erase mistakes she's made
G7M
Then make them disappear
Cm7
Where he can change the plot
Bb7M
So he's a hero, not a louse
G7(b5)
And when the curtain falls
C#7 F#7
There's not a dry eye in the house
Bm7
A writer hopes to leave behind
Am7
A work no one forgets
Bm7
And when he writes, "the end"
Am7
To find he has the right regrets
Em7 Eb+
A writer has the empty page
Em7 G(b5)/Db
Where he can use his pen
C#7
To mend his heart
F#4 F#7
And try to start
Bm7 Bm/Ab G7M Bm/Ab B2
Again
