Letter From My Lonelier Self

Em

[Verse 1]
Em        G              D        G
This is a letter from my lonelier self
        Em           G         D        Em
to the one that's in love once again.
           G             D
I couldn't find you so I thought that I would
G          Em                  G            D
tell you a few things with my favorite blue pen.

[Pre-Chorus]
C                  G
This year's been a hard one.
           D            Em      C
Yeah, I've made so many big mistakes.
           G                  B    Em
I lost the heart that I'd been given.

[Chorus]
C                    Cm                  G
So, when it's love don't wait to say what it is.
B E A
Mmm.
C                    Cm                   G
When it's love don't wait to say what it is.

[Verse 2]
Em        G              D        G
After the fire is when the neighbors all come out
        Em           G         D        Em
their sadness dripping with relief it wasn't them.
           G             D
And all your thoughts turn solid cause you've lost everything else
G          Em                  G            D
and you need a place to lay your head.

[Pre-Chorus]
C                  G            D         Em
In the vacant silence of a lost Manhattan boulevard
           G                  B    Em
you'll hear the answers if you listen.

[Chorus]
C                    Cm                  G
So, when it's love don't wait to say what it is.
B E A
Mmm.
C                    Cm                   G
When it's love don't wait to say what it is.


[Pre-Chorus]
C                  G            D         Em
I see couples kissing with their arms and fingers locked so tight
           G                  B    Em
I hope they say the words we didn't.

[Chorus]
C                    Cm                  G
So, when it's love don't wait to say what it is.
B E A
Mmm.
C                    Cm                   G
And don't trade love for an aimless embrace of the wind.
B E A
Mmm.
C                    Cm                  G
Please don't lose your love the way that I did.

Em        G              D        G
This is a letter from my lonelier self
        Em           G         D        Em
to the one that's in love once again.
