Writer In The Dark Chords by Lorde

[Start]

[Verse]
D                                
Break the news you're walking out
C                            D   
To be a good man for someone else
                       C       
Sorry I was never good like you
D                                 
Stood on my chest and kept me down
C                                           
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
D                         C      
Did my best to exist just for you
C               D7                             C7  
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
                D                              C7  
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
          D                            D          C    
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
                D7             C7              G7   G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark ■


[Chorus]
                       Am            Em                     
I am my mother's child I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
     Am                Em               D 
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G                          Am            Em          
But in our darkest hours I stumbled on a secret power
     Am            Em             D   
I'll find a way to be without you babe


[Verse]
  D                          
I still feel you now and then
C         D              
Slow like pseudoephedrine
                                  C      
When you see me will you say I've changed
D                               
I ride the subway read the signs
  C                             
I let the seasons change my mind
  G                                       D  
I love it here since I've stopped needing you
                D7                             C7   C
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark ■
                D                              C7  
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
          D                            G          C    
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
                D7               C7            G7   G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark ■


[Chorus]
                            Am       Em                     
I am my mother's child I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
     Am                Em               D 
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
G                          Am       Em               
But in our darkest hours I stumbled on a secret power
     Am            Em             D   
I'll find a way to be without you babe
