[Intro]
Em  C  G  Em  C  G

[Verse 1]
Em      C                    Am             C
I never thought you were the letter writing type
Em       C                 Am                 C
So now I see the words you choose the way you write
Em              Bm                   C            G
So I started to write back about the trees in the snow
Em          Bm                         C                       G
And I saw a bird, couldn't say what it was but I thought you'd know
             Am         C    G
You always surprised me


[Chorus]
Em         C    G
And if I wrote you
Em     C    G
If I wrote you
Continúa después del anuncio
 Em         C   G
You would know me
               Em        C    G
And you would not write me again

[Verse 2]
Em           C               Am              C
And when the spring came and flooded all the streams
Em                C                 Am               C
It's like how you got the night you told me all your dreams
Em           Bm               C            G
And when the barn roof sagged after an icy bout
Em                Bm                         C                      G
It's like how you shrugged when you knew the truth was the only way out
Am          C            G
But not the only way, oh no


[Chorus]
Em         C    G
And if I wrote you
Em     C    G
If I wrote you
 Em         C   G
You would know me
               Em        C    G
And you would not write me again

[Verse 3]
Em          C               Am      C
We drew our arms around the bastard sons
Em       C                  Am     C
We never would drink to the chosen ones
Em                Bm             C             G
Well you know the way I went was not the way I planned
Em                Bm           C                 G
But I thought the world needed love and a steady hand
       Am     C     G
So I'm steady now


[Chorus]
Em       C  G    Em
And I'm so happy;
Em        C    G
I had to tell you
Em     C    G
And I love you
              Em        C   G
And you will not write me again
          Em        C   G     Em   C   G
You will not write me again
          Em        C   G
You will not write me again
