Verse 1:
D Gmaj7
Writing a letter to you like you're a foreign pen pal

Talking to you like I've never not known you

Smiling at you with my heart nailed shut
D Gmaj7
Time-induced-healing has not been enough
Pre-Chorus:

I swear you'd always need me
Bm G#m7-5
I swear you'd always see me
Em F# Bm A
As the same blood that runs through your veins
Chorus:

Don't come looking for me after dark
B7 Em/B B7 Em Gm D
I cannot bear to see your footsteps leading nowhere

Roots of the ancient tree have changed
B7 Em/B B7 Em Gm D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
I can't make out your face and what you're saying sounds the same
Verse 2:

Hanging photo examples of golden moments

Your memory left in pages I wrote things down

Fizzy telephone calls generous to silence

Empty spaces and forgotten traces of you

Though that might seem fine, you're gone all the time
