Gm D7 D7
You never liked to get
Gm Dm7 D/A
The letters that I sent
Gm D7 D7
But now you've got the gist

D#maj7 D7sus4D

Of what my letters meant
Gm D7 D7
You're reading them again,
Gm Dm7 D/A
The ones you didn't burn
Gm D7 D7
You press them to your lips,

D#maj7 D7sus4D

My pages of concern
Cm7 Gm
I said there'd been a flood
Cm7 Gm
I said there's nothing left
F D#
I hoped that you would come
D
I gave you my address
G#m D#7 D#7
Your story was so long,
G#m D#m7 D#/A#
The plot was so intense,
G#m D#7 D#7
It took you years to cross

Emaj7 D#7sus4D#

The lines of self-defense
G#m D#7 D#7
The wounded forms appear:
G#m D#m7 D#/A#
The loss, the full extent;
G#m D#7 D#7
And simple kindness here,
Em D#7 D#
The solitude of strength
C#m7 G#m
I said there'd been a flood
C#m7 G#m
I said there's nothing left
F# E
I hoped that you would come

D#7sus4D#

I gave you my address
Gm D7 D7
You walk into my room
Gm Dm7 D/A
You stand there at my desk,
Gm D7 D7
Begin your letter to
Gm Dm7 D/A
The one who's coming next
D# D7
(Begin your letter to)
D#m D7 Gm
(Oooooooo the one who's coming next)
