The Leisure Society — Better Written Off (Than Written Down)
NOTE - At the very end of the song I have put question marks beside two chords. They
sound close but I can't help but feel they are incorrect. Please comment corrections if
I'm wrong!
- I'm posting two different ways to play certain chords. To keep things simple play
them the first way however I feel the second chords sounds nicer. Take your pick and
enjoy! :)

Intro - Dm G C F x2
Dm
From the darkest lows,
G
To the heavenly highs,
C
Another dream let go,
F
On every mantelpiece.
Dm
If you had your life,
G
To live over again,
C
Would you do it in style?
F
Or make those same mistakes?
DmG
If I keep folding there will be nothing left of me,
CF
But shapeless shoulders and this cold, dead smile,
DGCFDmG
These days are better written off than written down.
Dm
Will you live your life,
G
Through a blossoming child?
C
Or will you sail the seas,
F
Of self-discovery?
Dm
Does if make you smile,
G
When you think of the ride?
C
Or do you get tired,
F
Burning Oxygen
DmG
If I keep folding there will be nothing left of me,
CF
But shapeless shoulders and this cold, dead smile,
DGCFDmGCFDmG
These days are better written off than written down.
Dm
All the wasted days,
G
And the promises made,
C
Could put the fear of God
F
In any one of us.
Dm
Resolutions seep,
G
Through the soles of your feet
C
So find a goal you can reach
F
Ever the optimist.
DmG
If I keep folding there will be nothing left of me,
CF
But shapeless shoulders and this cold, dead smile,
DGCFDmGCFDmG
These days are better written off than written down.
