Verse 1:
EMaj7Emaj7
Now I know this letter is right out of the blue
Dmaj7Dmaj7
All I ever wanted was to talk to you
EMaj7Emaj7
In a café, in a moving rented car
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Heading to the nearest place that felt like far
Amaj7Amaj7
"Honey," can I call you that in secret print?
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Words will never hurt you if the motive's clear
F#m7F#m7
All I want for you is joy and peaceful love
BB EMaj7Emaj7 Dmaj7Dmaj7
Who you get it from is not my main concern
Verse 2:
EMaj7Emaj7
It's like a fountain every time I think of you
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Turning on the prose that would encircle you
EMaj7Emaj7
Though I messed it up, I figured that I might
Dmaj7Dmaj7
See you true and clearly in another life
Amaj7Amaj7
As the rain falls slowly on this sliding roof
Gmaj7Gmaj7
I'm inclined to tell you all about the truth
F#m7F#m7
Years of wondering what you were thinking of
BB
I've given into endless days of being a sloth

Verse 3:
EMaj7Emaj7
If I could have the energy to chase the day
Dmaj7Dmaj7
I would end up chasing all the good away
EMaj7Emaj7
Endless youth is wasted on the fallen kid
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Down a tunnel of mistakes, they always fled
Amaj7Amaj7
Who is there to pick up on the bloody mess
Gmaj7Gmaj7
Who is there to mop their heads with tenderness
F#m7F#m7
No one human, nobody is good enough
BB
To envelope the human heart when life is rough

Verse 4:
EMaj7Emaj7
How can this be done? How can I make it through?
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Teenage dreams do never what they're meant to do
EMaj7Emaj7
Knock a door and listen to the wisdom speak
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Leave your knife, your razor, and your make believe
Amaj7Amaj7
Though the world is fucked according to the news
Gmaj7Gmaj7
As we get you out of what you have to do
F#m7F#m7
Though the world is fucked and swinging to the right
BB
Doesn't get you out of what you have to do tonight
