[Verse 1]
     D                                A7
With pen in hand, I try to write this note to you
                                      D
I know now where I stand, but what am I to do?
                                                   G
I found so many things to say, since we're so far apart
        A7                                    D
How can I write on paper.  What I, feel in my heart?

[Chorus]
        A7                         D
How can I write on paper, what I'm feeling deep inside?
         A7                                D
Words to you would last no longer, then it takes the ink to dry
                                                    G
A love as sweet as yours and mine, deserves another start
        A7                                    D
How can I write on paper.  What I, feel in my heart?

[Verse 2]
      D                                     A7
Those simple things you gave, are worth the world to me
                                  D
And each of them I claim you, can take memories
                                                       G
So many things were left unsaid, I don't know where to start
        A7                                    D
How can I write on paper.  What I, feel in my heart?

[Chorus]
        A7                         D
How can I write on paper, what I'm feeling deep inside?
         A7                                D
Words to you would last no longer, then it takes the ink to dry
                                                    G
A love as sweet as yours and mine, deserves another start
        A7                                    D
How can I write on paper.  What I, feel in my heart?
