Better Written Off Than Written Down

Intro - Am  D  G  C (x2)

                 Am
From the darkest lows,
                D
To the heavenly highs,
                  G
Another dream let go,
        C
On every mantelpiece.

                Am
If you had your life,
              D
To live over again,
                   G
Would you do it in style?
               C
Or make those same mistakes?

  Am                           D
If I keep folding there will be nothing left of me,
   G                             C
But shapeless shoulders and this cold, dead smile,
     Am                       D                    G
C  Am  D
These days are better written off than written down.

                   Am
Will you live your life,
                D
Through a blossoming child?
                     G
Or will you sail the seas,
          C
Of self-discovery?

                 Am
Does if make you smile,
                      D
When you think of the ride?
              G
Or do you get tired,
        C
Burning Oxygen

  Am                           D
If I keep folding there will be nothing left of me,
   G                             C
But shapeless shoulders and this cold, dead smile,
     Am                       D                    G

These days are better written off than written down.

               Am
All the wasted days,
                D
And the promises made,
                      G
Could put the fear of God
       C
In any one of us.

            Am
Resolutions seep,
                          D
Through the soles of your feet
                       G
So find a goal you can reach
         C
Ever the optimist.

If I keep folding there will be nothing left of me,
   G                             C
But shapeless shoulders and this cold, dead smile,
     Am                       D                    G
These days are better written off than written down.
