[Verse 1]
DI am unwritten
Can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
[Pre-Chorus]
DStaring at the blank page Cadd9before you
Open up the dirty Bmwindow
Let the sun illuminGm/Bbate the words that you could not find
DReaching for something in the Cdistance
So close you can almost G/Btaste it
Release your inhibitions
[Chorus]
Feel the rain on your Bmskin
No one Emelse can feel it Gfor you
Only Dyou can let it Bmin
No one Emelse, no one Gelse
Can speak the Dsus2words on your Bmlips
Drench yourEmself in words unsGpoken
Live your Dlife with arms wide Bmopen
Today Emis where your bGook begins
The rest is still unDwritten
(guitar 1 plays riff, or you can just play D)
[Verse 2]
DI break tradition,
sometimes my tries are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way
[Pre-Chorus]
DStaring at the blank page Cadd9before you
Open up the dirty Bmwindow
Let the sun illuminCate the words that you could not find
DReaching for something in the Em7distance

Feel the rain on your Bmskin
No one Emelse can feel it Gfor you
