Intro: Am

         Am
I used to write
                C/G       F               C
I used to write letters I used to sign my name
          Am
I used to sleep at night
                    C/G            F          C
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain

                   Am
But by the time we met
               C/G     F                 C
By the time we met the times had already changed

Am C/G F C

                   Am
So I never wrote a letter
                C/G          F              C
I never took my true heart I never wrote it down
                       Am
So when the lights cut out
           C/G             F          C
I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown

Bridge:
D5                C        Am
Now our lives are changing fast
D5                C        Am
Now our lives are changing fast
G                   Em       D5
Hope that something pure can last
G                   Em       D5
Hope that something pure can last

       Am
But it seems strange
               C/G      F           C
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
                    Am
But what's stranger still
                    C/G       F         C
Is how something so small can keep you alive
           Am
We used to wait
                 C/G        F        C
We used to waste hours just walking around
                Am
We used to wait
                 C/G          F          C
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown


Chorus:
Am  C      C/G     Am
    Ooh we used to wait
    C      C/G     F
    Ooh we used to wait
G   C      C/G     Am
    Ooh we used to wait (Sometimes it never came)
    C      C/G     Am
    Ooh we used to wait (Sometimes it never came)
    C      C/G     F           G                  C
    Ooh we used to wait (Still moving through the pain)

    Ooh

          Am
I'm gonna write
                 C/G         F             C
A letter to my true love I'm gonna sign my name
                    Am
Like a patient on a table
              C/G        F                C
I wanna walk again gonna move through the pain

Bridge:
D5                C        Am
Now our lives are changing fast
D5                C        Am
Now our lives are changing fast
G                   Em       D5
Hope that something pure can last
G                   Em       Am
Hope that something pure can last

  Hear my voice screaming, sing the chorus again
