E7/D              A/C#
I've not received your letter

    Ami/C          D                  E
My fingernails are chewed down to the bone

E                 Ema7/D#
So many different ways

     E7/D           A/C#
I've had to say I'm sorry

          Ami/C             D            E
While I'm left here in this eight by ten alone


[Pre-chorus 1]

A                                      E
It's not the four walls movin' in that tortures me

A                                   B
It's not the cold cement or shivers down my spine

E                           Ema7/D#   E7/D    A/C#
It's just the visions in my head that make me paranoid

Ami/C               D               E
And wonder if I get out will you be mine


[Instrumental Interlude]

E  Ema7/D#  E7/D  A/C#  Ami/C  D  E  [x2]


[Verse 2]

E                   Ema7/D#
I never should have treated you

   E7/D            A/C#
so bad my love I'm sorry

    Ami/C             D                 E
I'm broken, now I can see that now it's true

   E               Ema7/D#       E7/D
My picket fence is turning razor wire

            A/C#
And now I'm awaiting trial

Ami/C              D              E
Things you have to know I did not do


[Pre-chorus 2]

A                                  E
If I could get a word with you I'd be just fine

A                              B
Or any envelope with both your name and mine

E                         Ema7/D#
We'd be enough to keep me going

     E7/D                 A/C#
In a world where I'm left knowing that

        Ami/C                  D        E
There's something more to live for just outside


[Chorus]

A                         B
Seems like the last time, feels like the first

E               Ema7/D#   C#mi              B
Though I've had bad days, this has to be my worst

A                        B     D                 E
I'm left thinking of you dear, while I'm waiting here

[Verse 3]

E                  Ema7/D#
I haven't seen the sun

         E7/D           A/C#
Since it rested on your shoulder

         Ami/C             D            E
While we walked along that vacant river side

E               Ema7/D#
They carried me away

     E7/D              A/C#
To a place where I get older

     Ami/C           D              E
If I cannot prove to them you never died


[Chorus 2]

A                         B
Seems like the last time, feels like the first

E               Ema7/D#   C#mi              B
Though I've had bad days, this has to be my worst

A                        B     D                 E
I'm left thinking of you dear, while I'm waiting here

Though I've had bad days, this has to be my worst

I'm left thinking of you dear, while I'm waiting here
