[Verse 1]
 
(D)             G
I never saw the end in sight
                  A
Fools are kind of blind
                       D
Thought everything was going alright
                         G      D
But I was running out of time
                   G
'Cause you had one foot out the door
                 A
I swear I didn't see
                     C
But if you're really going away

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



D                            G
Here's some final words from me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      D          G
Baby, write this down, take a little note
      A
To remind you in case you didn't know
                C                                D
Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go
           G      D
Write this down
        G
Take my words and read 'em every day
               A
Keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away
            C                       D
So you'll remember what I forgot to say
           G
Write this down

(D)                 G
I'll sign it at the bottom of the page
                 A
I'll swear under oath
                    D
'Cause every single word is true
                        G      D
And I think you need to know
               G
So use it as a bookmark
                  A
Stick it on your 'frigerator door
             C                          D
Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantle
                         G
Where you'll see it for sure
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      D          G
Baby, write this down, take a little note
      A
To remind you in case you didn't know
                C                                D
Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go
           G      D
Write this down
        G
Take my words and read 'em every day
               A
Keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away
            C                       D
So you'll remember what I forgot to say

Bm                       D
   You can find a chisel,  I can find a stone
C                                   D
  Folks will be reading these words, long after we're gone
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(D)              G
Baby, write this down, take a little note
      A
To remind you in case you didn't know
                C                                D
Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go
           G      D
Write this down
        G
Take my words and read 'em every day
               A
Keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away
            C                       D
So you'll remember what I forgot to say
           G
Write this down
 
 
[Outro]
 
      A                                D
Oh, I love you and I don't want you to go
                 G
Baby, write this down
