I Keep Writing It Down
Song A Day #1331


E   A
As your cells regenerate and die
 B   C#m
Old parts of you are left behind
E   G#
Change is gonna happen
      A   B
Whether you like it or not
It'll never stop

One day you're rich and your belly's full
The next you're poor with a rattlin' skull
You live so blind
Signing on the little dots
It'll never stop

C#m
And I am knocked unconscious
B
By the sheer force of time passing
A
I try to keep my mind wide open
F#
But I am lost down in the mud muck
And I see life going by me
And I feel sad and happy
And the things that I remember
Seem so frivolous and small

      G#   A 
But I keep writing it down

Flightless birds know the pain of it
When you gotta stand but you wanna sit
Nothing can prepare you
For a life of disappointment

Bou peak so early know it all
Then steadily decline and fall
Till you're 30 with a magic wand
And you're not sure where to point it

And once you were a great king
Of words and art and everything
And you knew the score that mattered
And you always lost your temper
But after years of taming
And time spent in the gutter
Of fast and hard routining 
You say it's not so simple

      G#   A 
But I keep writing it down
      G#   A    B
But I keep writing it down

[solo over verse and chorus chords]

E   A
As your cells regenerate and die
 B   C#m
Old parts of you are left behind
E   G#
Change is gonna happen
      A   B
Whether you like it or not
It'll never stop
