Joey + Rory - I hold the pen

I hold the pen that ^Fwrites the words, but He ^Gtells me what to s^Cay I touch the strings that ^Fmake the chords, but he ^Gshows me what to ^Cplay I pour my heart in - ^Fto my art and ^Gpray that it shines ^Cthrough And if it does, it’^Fs just be - cause Hi^Gs hand is on it,^C too

I hold the pen, ^C/E He writes the ^Fsong Every now and ^Gsusthen, ^G the world sings a - ^Clong ^G I may get the ^Ccredit, ^C/E but they’ve got i^Ft wrong^D/F# I hold the ^Cpen, ^G He writes the ^Fsong ^C

All those roads I took that ^Flead to love, or ^Gbroke my heart in t^Cwo He knew, later on, would in - ^Fspire the songs, ^GI would write for ^Cyou All those times I’ve known, when I^F felt alone And ^Gthought how could things get ^Cworse? He knew someday they’^Fd find their way in ^G- to this ver^Cy verse

I hold the pen, ^C/E He writes the ^Fsong Every now and ^Gsusthen, ^G the world sings a - ^Clong ^G I may get the ^Ccredit, ^C/E but they’ve got i^Ft wrong^D/F# I hold the ^Cpen, ^G He writes the ^Amso ??^D? ng I hold the ^Cpen, ^G He writes the ^Fsong ^C
