^G Picture a scene in your mind ^Bm

C Listen, wa ^Bm tch, and w ^Am ait, a plot be ^D gins to take shape
^G There's a story and the ^Bm n, characters will ^C come to you
^A Relating events as the ^D y choose to
But ^C all their ^Bm words and ^Am actions come en ^D tirely from you ^G

Ex ^C pressing the de ^A sires that daren't speak thei ^D r name?
^C Are y ^Bm ou the o ^Am ne to be ^D blamed?
