[Verse 1]          A                      B
I never saw the end in sight Fools are kind of blind
                       E                             A      E
Thought everything was going alright But I was running out of time
                   A                   B
'Cause you had one foot out the door I swear I didn't see
                     D                        E                            A                       E
But if you're really going away Here's some final words from me
 
[Chorus]            A               B
Baby, write this down, take a little note To remind you in case you didn't know
                D                                E                            A      E
Tell yourself I love you and I don't want you to go Write this down
        A                                        B
Take my words and read 'em every day Keep 'em close by, don't you let 'em fade away
            D                       E                 A
So you'll remember what I forgot to say Write this down
  
[Verse 2]    A                     B
I'll sign it at the bottom of the page I'll swear under oath
                    E                            A      E
'Cause every single word is true And I think you need to know
               A                       B
So use it as a bookmark Stick it on your 'frigerator door
             D                          E                                A
Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantle Where you'll see it for sure
 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Bridge]  
C#m                       E
   You can find a chisel,  I can find a stone
D                                   E
  Folks will be reading these words, long after we're gone
  
[Chorus]

[Outro] 
      B                                E
Oh, I love you and I don't want you to go
                 A
Baby, write this down
