Letter To The Past chords by Brandi Carlile

🎸 Verse 1:
D         D
  It's a game
                   G
Baby, it’s just a game
                           D       A/C#     Bm
And nobody loses when you learn to love the one
     C             G
Who finally wins sometimes
            D
You'll be wrong



                              G
'Cause sometimes, we get it wrong
                         D
But nobody leaves here alive
     A/C#   Bm          C           G
And nothin’ holy comes from bein' right

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
          Bm                     A
So don't hold your breath like that
G
Baby, let it go
              Bm              A
You're gonna feel it in your back
                      C
Believe me, I oughta know

🎸 Chorus:
           D
You're a stone wall
                     A
In a world full of rubber bands
          Bm
You're a pillar of belief
 A                     G
Still fightin' your shakin' hands
                         D
Folks are gonna lean on you
                     A
And leave when th? cracks appear
                   Bm
But, darlin’, I’ll be her?
 A           G
I'll be the last

You’re my letter to the past

🎸 Verse 3:
         D
You can cry
                              G
You know it's always okay to cry
                             D
You don't even need to know why

But don't you ever feel alone inside

If you need to know the truth
A                       G
I still haven’t got a clue
        Bm                   A
If the blind can lead the blind
                       C
Then, baby, I'm just like you

🎸 Chorus:
           D
You're a stone wall
                    A
In a world full of rubber bands
          Bm
You're a pillar of belief
  A                   G
Still fightin' your empty hands
                  D
Folks are gonna lean on you
                     A
And leave when the cracks appear
