[Verse]
I lost my hDmead going for a cBbrown
And it's quFite a funny story but I'll neAver write it down
They switched Dmmy blood out with iBbnk
Then wrFote a book inside me, thus foArcing me to read
Line by lDmine, rib by rBbib
ImprFoper punctuation is puncAturing my skin
And yeah it hDmurts, but not too Amuch
Cuz I've gFot an ugly cover but wAho are you to judge?
[Chorus]
This oBbpen book, an opCen book
AnotFher waAsted Dmtree
An oBbpen book, an opCen book
With duFst to cAover Dmme
I'm just an oBbpen book that nCo one wants to readF  A  
[Verse]
I've got these haDmnds that I don't wBbant
And they shFake with every letter as I scriAbble down my thoughts
With sloppy wDmords and sloppy fBborm
They end Fup on crumpled paper I throw iAdly on the floor
But every pDmage is yours to Bbwrite
We're aFll just pointless stories Aconnected at the spine
And by oursDmelves we don't make seBbnse
But when you pFut us all together, you stAart to comprehend
[Chorus]
This oBbpen book, an opCen book

An oBbpen book, an opCen book
With duFst to coAver Dmme
I'm just an oBbpen book that Ano one wants to read
[Bridge]
BbThis life, it tears us to shCreds
FThrown on a pAile to be bDmurned with all the rest
BbJust note the raindrop on a pCage
FWe use our muAsic to dDmistort the words we say
Cuz BbI think you'll like me this wCay

on his upcoming album! Once there's a recorded version, the chords may sound a little different, but this

[Intro]

F A

[Verse]

Dm Bb

I lost my head going for a crown

F A

And it's quite a funny story but I'll never write it down

Dm Bb

They switched my blood out with ink

F A

Then wrote a book inside me, thus forcing me to read

Dm Bb

Line by line, rib by rib

F A

Improper punctuation is puncturing my skin

Dm A

And yeah it hurts, but not too much

F A

Cuz I've got an ugly cover but who are you to judge?

[Chorus]

Bb C

This open book, an open book

F A Dm

Another wasted tree

Bb C

An open book, an open book

F A Dm

With dust to cover me

Bb C F A

I'm just an open book that no one wants to read

[Verse]

Dm Bb

I've got these hands that I don't want

F A

And they shake with every letter as I scribble down my thoughts

Dm Bb

With sloppy words and sloppy form

F A

They end up on crumpled paper I throw idly on the floor

Dm Bb

But every page is yours to write

F A

We're all just pointless stories connected at the spine

Dm Bb

And by ourselves we don't make sense

F A

But when you put us all together, you start to comprehend

[Chorus]

Bb C

This open book, an open book

F A Dm

Another wasted tree

Bb C

An open book, an open book

F A Dm

With dust to cover me

Bb A

I'm just an open book that no one wants to read

[Bridge]

Bb C

This life, it tears us to shreds

F A Dm

Thrown on a pile to be burned with all the rest

Bb C

Just note the raindrop on a page

F A Dm

We use our music to distort the words we say

Bb C

Cuz I think you'll like me this way

[Chorus]

Bb C

An open book, an open book

F A Dm

Another wasted tree

Bb C

An open book, an open book

F A Dm

With dirt to cover me

Bb C

I'm just another book that you don't want

Bb C

An open book, an open book

F A Dm

Another wasted tree

Bb C

An open book, an open book

F A Dm

With dust to cover me

N.C.

I'm just an open book that no one wants to read
