Letters Lyrics

/4

Em D G
Oh time, sticks to me
Am G C
and it tears from my skin
Em D G
So that I, can't remember
Am G C
just how long it has been.

(bass and drums come in here)
Em D G
Whoa but in my mind I can see you
Am G C
and I think of you so kind
Em D G
and I know it was my fault
Am G C
that I fell so far behind.

--CHORUS--
G F Am
So God take this prayer I send to you
C
and I hope it finds you well
G F Am C
as for me, well I'm allright as far as I can tell
(Em--D--G)--1st time only
as far as I can tell
(Am--G--C)
with my unwritten letters (1st time only this last line)
2nd verse: (bass and drums drop out)
Em D G
Oh I stopped writing letters
Am G C
for fear of what you would say
Em D G
and I know it's not forgiveness
Am G C
if it's only for one day.
(bass and drums come in again)
Em D G
Turn the lights down please so I can sleep
Am G C
on my pillow wet with tears
Em D G
while the clock on the mantle
Am G C
is pushing forward with my tears.

(Chorus 2x and once instrumental, fade out)
