Better Written Off Than Written Down Chords & Tabs
Better Written Off Than Written Down Chords
NOTE - At the very end of the song I have put question marks beside two chords. They
sound close but I can't help but feel they are incorrect. Please comment corrections if
I'm wrong!
- I'm posting two different ways to play certain chords. To keep things simple play
them the first way however I feel the second chords sounds nicer. Take your pick and
enjoy! :)

Dm
From the darkest lows,

To the heavenly highs,

Another dream let go,

On every mantelpiece.

To live over again,
C
Would you do it in style?

Or make those same mistakes?
Dm G
If I keep folding there will be nothing left of me,
C F
But shapeless shoulders and this cold, dead smile,
Dm G C
F Dm G
These days are better written off than written down.
Dm
Will you live your life,
G
Through a blossoming child?
C
Or will you sail the seas,
F
Of self-discovery?
