VERSE:
        D                      D    
Puttin' words on paper, puttin fingers on strings,
        G                     ( G        A )
findin' my three chords an' the octave I sing.
      G                          ( G                    A )
Gotta say how much I love you, but all the while you're gone,
       ( D         G )           ( A )           D         ( G  A )
I'll put pencil to paper 'til your lovin' comes along.

VERSE:
    D                        D
I'm all but overflowin' with what I gotta say:
    G                         ( G           A )
how obnoxious you are and how I love you anyway.
      G                             ( G             A )
Gotta tell the world about you, gotta write it in a song,
            ( D          G )             ( A )           D    ( G  A )
'cause you're absent you bastard 'til your lovin' comes along.

PRECHORUS:
        G                        ( G        A )
So when after all this time apart, suddenly you
       G                         ( G )         A      A
fin'ly educate your foolish heart, what will I do?
       
CHORUS:
         D                      ( G              D )
Let this paper blow away, let the pencil hit the floor.
          D                           ( G             A )
From that minute of that day I wouldn't need them any more.
     ( G          D )          ( G           A )
See it isn't so important that I finish this song - 
            G                                 ( A                D )
it's just a project for the short term 'til the long term comes along,
            G                          ( A )           D           A
          a short-term project 'til your lovin' comes along.

VERSE:
Sooner or later you're gonna give in,
an I'm gonna forgive you for how stubborn you've been.
Yes I'm givin' up this grudge, I won't let it last long - 
just a half an hour after your lovin' comes along.

PRECHORUS:
So when after all these troubled times, suddenly you
come back to claim this heart of mine, what will I do?
CHORUS:
Let this paper blow away, let the pencil hit the floor.
From that minute of that day I wouldn't need them any more.
it ain't my sole intention to tell the world you're wrong,
just a little obsession 'til the big one comes along,
      a minor obsession 'til your lovin' comes along.

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

PRECHORUS:
So when after all is said and done, suddenly you
understand that I'm your only one (duh), what will I do?

CHORUS:
Let this paper blow away, let the pencil hit the floor.
From that minute of that day I wouldn't need them any more.
It's a hobby, not a passion, it's a way to stay strong,
just a shadow of madness 'til true madness comes along,
     a temporary madness 'til your lovin' comes along.
