Intro:
DmDm    DmDm    DmDm    DmDm

Verse 1:
   DmDm            C majorC
Dead letter, dead letter of immaculate attention,
   DmDm          C majorC         DmDm
it's written in blood that flows through the pen tip.
   DmDm           C majorC
Dead letter, dead letter, failed to deliver,
  DmDm     C majorC        DmDm
the message of love I wanted to give her.

Verse 2:
  DmDm            C majorC      DmDm
She sent a dead letter to the book on the shelf;
   DmDm           C majorC       DmDm
she revealed some secrets she didn't want to tell.
  DmDm            C majorC
she died on the day that her baby was born
    DmDm     C majorC              DmDm
and the dead letter rests and the healings were torn.

Verse 3:
   DmDm          C majorC          C majorC
Dead letter, dead letter addressed straight to hell,
   DmDm            C majorC       DmDm
it's written to someone; it's written quite well.
   DmDm            C majorC
Dead letter, dead letter will never be read,
   DmDm     C majorC         DmDm
I'll write you a letter as long its dead.

Bridge:
     FF          C majorC
There was no response and they thought they had lost him,
FF           C majorC
drugging and drinking (paroles?).
     FF             C majorC
When they cought up with him he just sat on the floor
   DmDm      C majorC            DmDm
in a pile of dead letters he just couldn't finish.

Verse 4:
   DmDm         C majorC      DmDm
Dead letter, dead letter addressed to you,
  DmDm           C majorC        DmDm
it says that I'm sorry; explains the whole truth.
 DmDm        C majorC
I said it you, oh, so long ago,
 DmDm        C majorC           DmDm
I thought that you got it, I just didn't know.
