C   F -  C   AM      F-C
             
                           F              C             
              I was a writer, a writer of love songs
         AM       F              C
and I got lost down a lonesome road.
                  C                    F               C
and I was a fighter and a writer of  past wrongs
       AM                F                  C
and I buried my heart under a heavy load.
G         
I wrote a story and it wrote me and I
F                                   C
dreamt myself into a cavalry
G                                  A#
chained my wrist to a mystery somehow

Chorus
F                          C
Darling lets run away
              G                          DM
into the darkness into the darkness honey
               F                                C
There's a price for those who stay
                G                          DM
under the moonlight singing their hearts out
              F                    C
Better look at me that way
                   G                      AM          F        C    -F    AM    F   C 
your gonna be the sweetest memory I say (melody I play) (final chorus)

verse
C                             F
I was a lost cause,  lost in a slowness
AM             F                 C
first out of four and the last one home
     C                   
I forgot what I fought for
             F                  C
In the heat of the romance
                 AM                             F        C
When the cold sun hit me  I was all alone
    G
oh I had a rest in the heat of the fire
F                           C
I sold my soul to a gospel choir
G                                                 A#                                       
I woke up older still n quiet and free

Chorus - twice
                          C
I was a writer a writer of love songs
      AM        C
and I got lost down a lonesome road.
