             A      D      A
I wrote your name, upon my heart

So I'd remember if we ever should part

When I got lost, inside life's game

I'd look into my heart, and find your name

For I was broken, 'til you came to make me whole


Pre-Chorus:
           Em                D
When I got lost, outside the frame
           A
I'd look inside my heart, I read your name

I wrote these letters

Verse 3:
              A        D        A
I scrawled my number, upon your wall
         A                   D               A
I'd lie awake at night, just waiting on your call
            A                 D       A
If you came back to me, in no seconds flat
             A                 D      A
I'd raise my hands and shout, amen to that

A man in fetters would die of shame

I wrote these letters that spell your name
           Em                           D
When I was down and out, no one else to blame
           C
I'd look inside my heart
