Genre: folk, singer-songwriter, indie rock
This is a simple but very powerful song. Capo 2.
B7 is played in its barred version, so x24242 relative to the capo.
As he gets further into the song, he also starts rooting the B7 chord on the
F# relative to the capo, so the chord shape turns into 224242. Not too hard
to switch up. Also, he hammers on the B for the G chord pretty often
throughout the song.
* = Bend guitar for Wah-oo-wah

G ---- G ---- G --- G

[Verse]
C Em
When I wrote you that letter
Am G
You'd already made up your mind
Em Am7 B7
All my words were writ in vain
C Em
When I called you up that day
Am G
I was only calling up to say
Em Am7 B7
Hellooooooooooo
C Em Am G
But goodbyeeeeeeee.....
Em Am7 B7
Was the word that you'd been thinking 'bout for days
C Em
I didn't know that you were going to leave me
Am G
I wish I knew the way to make you come home
Am7 B7 Em*
What can I do if this is right for you
[Chorus]
Am C G D
I have not been perfect for you
Am C G D
Although I think I was back at the start
Am C G D
You have no more patience for me
Am C G G
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
