The Wrote And The Writ
Johnny Flynn
Key : E
Capo
[Intro]

C#m | G#  | A   | E | B 
C#m | G#  | A   | E | B | E

[Verse 1]
---------------------
               C#m                G#     A
They're taking pictures of the man  from God
  E                  B
I hope his cassock's clean
    C#m               G#   A
The burden of being a holy fella's
     E                   B       E
Your halo'd better gleam, better gleam
                  B       C#m
What of all those wayward priests?
    E                B
The ones who like to drink
E                                B             C#m
Do you suppose they'd swap their blood for wine
     E                     B        E
Like you swapped yours for ink, for ink

[Verse 2]
---------------------
    C#m          G#   A
You wrote me ohsomany letters
       E               B
And all of them seemed true
C#m           G#      A
Promises look good on paper
E               B         E
Especially from you, from you
                        B       C#m
The weight of all those willing words
  E                B
I carried all alone
    E                 B         C#m
You wouldn't put your pen to bed
        E                B        E
When we hadn't found our own, our own

[Break]
---------------------
A      | C#m/F# | B | A 
C#m/F# | E      

[Verse 3]
---------------------
B     C#m            G#      A
 Your sentences rose high at night
    E                B
And circled round my head
    C#m                 G# A
The circle's since been broken
         E                   B        E
Like the priest before me is breaking bread
                             B        C#m
I'm being asked to drink the blood of Christ
    E                 B
And soon I'll eat his flesh
     E                B    C#m
I'm alone again before the altar
E               B      E
Shedding all my old regrets

[Verse 4]
---------------------
    C#m                G#       A
The last of which I'll tell you now
   E                 B
As it flies down the sink
  C#m          G#      A
I never knew a part of you
    E                 B   E
You didn't set in ink, in ink
                     B          C#m
The letters that you left behind
   E              B
No longer shall I read
E                          B C#m
Your blood's between the pa_ges
E                       B    E
And I can't stand to see you bleed

[Bridge]
---------------------
C#m | G# | A | B | C#m | G# 
A   | B  | E 

[Interlude]
---------------------
C#m | G#  | A   | E | B 
C#m | G#  | A   | E | B | E 
B   | C#m | E   | B 
E   | B   | C#m | E | B | E 

[Verse 5]
---------------------
         C#m                  G#    A
And I'll soon forget what was never there
     E                 B
Your words are ash and dust
C#m                    G#        A
All that's left is the song I've sung
          E                   B     E
The breath I've taken and the one I must
                                   B
If you're born with a love for the wrote and the writ
C#m E                          B
   People of letters, your warning stands clear:
    E                         B        C#m
Pay heed to your heart and not to your wit
      E                        B           E
Don't say in a letter what you can't in my ear

[Outro]
---------------------
C#m | G#  | A   | E | B 
C#m | G#  | A   | E | B | E 
B   | C#m | E   | B 
E   | B   | C#m | E | B | E
