1Obsession it takes control,
E8        B9            G#m10   F#11
2Obsession it eats me whole,
G#m12               F#13         B14
3I can't say the words out loud,
G#m15                F#16        B17
4So in a rhyme I wrote you down,
E18                           F#19 B20
5Now you'll live through the ages,
       E21                      F#22 B23
6I can feel your pulse in the pages.

    E31                   B32
14And all the world will read you,
     G#m33              F#34
15And you will live forever,
   E35              G#m36
16In eyes not yet created,
    E37                    B38
17On tongues that are not born,
         E39          B40
18I have written you down,
     G#m41              F#42
19Now you will live forever.

22Your body lies upon the sheets,
E51       B52           G#m53     F#54
23Of paper and words so sweet,
G#m55       F#56       B57
24I can't say the words,
G#m58             F#59        B60
25So I wrote you into my Verse,
E61                           F#62 B63
26Now you'll live through the ages,
       E64                      F#65 B66
