The Writer - Ellie Goulding
 
Intro:
F#m D A Esus4  F#m D F#m Esus4
F#m D A Esus4  A/C# D/B Esus4 A
 
    F#m        D           A          Esus4
You wait for a silence,  I wait for a word
      F#m          D      F#m      Esus4
Lying next to your frame, Girl unobserved
    F#m             D            A        Esus4
You change your position, You're changing me
A/C#          D/B            Esus4          A
Casting these shadows, Where they shouldn't be
 
F#m        D              A           Esus4
We're interrupted, By the heat of the sun
F#m          D            F#m       Esus4
Trying to prevent, What's already begun
F#m           D           A          Esus4
You're just a body, I can smell your skin
    A/C#   D/B             Esus4   A
And when I feel it, You're wearing thin
 
         D/B A/C# Esus4/D
But I've got a    plan
 
          E          F#m         D              A
Why don't you be the artist, And make me out of clay?
          E          F#m     D                  A
Why don't you be the writer, Decide the words I say?
          F#m       D/B               E               F#m
Cause I'd rather pretend, I'll still be there at the end
E/G#      A   A/C#    D/B          Esus4             A/E     D/B
Only it's too hard to ask, Won't you try to help me?
 
F#m         D              A      Esus4
Sat on your sofa, It's all broken springs
     F#m       D                F#m    Esus4
This isn't the place for, Those violin strings
  F#m       D            A         Esus4
I try out a smile, And I aim it at you
A/C#          D/B            Esus4  A
You must have missed it, You always do
 
         D/B A/C# Esus4/D
But I've got a    plan
 
          E          F#m         D              A
Why don't you be the artist, And make me out of clay?
           E           F#m     D                A
Why don't you be the writer, Decide the words I say?
            F#m     D/B              E               F#m
Cause I'd rather pretend, I'll still be there at the end
E/G#      A   A/C#    D/B          Esus4
Only it's too hard to ask, Won't you try to help me?
 
F#m   D                 A        Esus4         F#m
      You wait, I wait, Casting shadows, Interrupted 
D                 F#m     Esus4         F#m
You wait, I wait, Casting shadows, Interrupted
D                 A        Esus4         F#m
You wait, I wait, Casting shadows, Interrupted
D                 A        Esus4
You wait, I wait, Casting shadows
 
           E           F#m        D             A
Why don't you be the artist, And make me out of clay?
