Verse 1

 
F C
I am unwritten
G Am F
Can’t read my mind, I’m unwritten
C G Am
Can’t read my name on a piled-up page
F C G Am F
I’m beginning, the pen’s in my hand, ending unplanned
 

Chorus

 
F C
Staring at the blank page before you
G Am
Open up the dirty window
F C G
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
F C
Reaching for something in the distance
G Am
So close you can almost taste it
F C
Release your inhibitions
G Am
Feel the rain on your skin
F C
No one else can feel it for you
G Am
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
F C
Can speak the words on your lips
G Am
Drench yourself in words unspoken
F C
Live your life with arms wide open
G Am F
Today is where your book begins
C G
The rest is still unwritten
 

Verse 2

 
F C
I break tradition
G Am F
Sometimes my tries, are outside the line
C G Am
We’ve been conditioned to not make mistakes
F C G Am F
But I can’t live that way, no, no, no, no, no
