[Dm] I didn't know _ [C] I couldn't [G] seem to die.
I [F] wrote my way out.
_ Wrote everything down [Bb] far as [Dm] I could see. _
I wrote [F] my way out.
I looked [Bb] up and the town had [F] its eyes on [C] me.
They passed and played [Dm] around. _
And total [C] strangers moved [F] kindness [G] by my story.
_ Raised [Dm] enough for [Bb] me to book passage on a [F] ship that was New York [C] bound.
_ [D] [F] I wrote my way out of hell.
[G] I wrote my way to [A] revolution.
[C] I was louder [D] than the crack in the bell.
I wrote Eliza [F] love [G] letters until she fell.
I wrote about [A] the [C] Constitution and defended [D] it well.
And [F] in the face of [G] ignorance and resistance, [A] I wrote my ancient [C] systems [Dm] into existence.
And when my prayers [Am] to God were met with [F] indifference, I picked up a pen and [G] I wrote my [C] own [Dm] deliverance.
In the eye of a hurricane [C] there is [G] quiet for [Dm] just a moment.
_ [C] [G] A yellow sky.
_ [Dm] I was twelve when my mother [C] died.
[G] She was holding me.

[Dm] Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it.
I'll write my way out.
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it.
Write everything [Bb] down far as I [Dm] can see.
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it.
I'll write my way out.
Overwhelm them with honesty.
This is the eye of the hurricane.
[G] This is the only way [Dm] I can protect my legacy.
