Intro:
Gm        D7sus4   D7   Gm        Dm7   D/A

     Gm                 D7sus4   D7
You never liked to get
     Gm                   Dm7   D/A
The letters that I sent
     Gm                      D7sus4   D7
But now you've got the gist
            D#maj7         D7sus4  D
Of what my letters meant

        Gm                  D7sus4   D7
You're reading them again,
    Gm                     Dm7   D/A
The ones you didn't burn
      Gm                      D7sus4   D7
You press them to your lips,
         D#maj7     D7sus4  D
My pages of concern 
Cm7                     Gm
I said there'd been a flood 
Cm7                     Gm
I said there's nothing left 
F                        D#
I hoped that you would come 
                  D
I gave you my address 
       G#m              D#7sus4   D#7
Your story was so long,
      G#m                 D#m7   D#/A#
The plot was so intense,
G#m                         D#7sus4   D#7
It took you years to cross
              Emaj7       D#7sus4  D#
The lines of self-defense 

G#m                        D#7sus4   D#7
The wounded forms appear:
     G#m                    D#m7   D#/A#
The loss, the full extent;
G#m                     D#7sus4   D#7
And simple kindness here,
         Emaj7            D#7sus4  D#
The solitude of strength 
C#m7                    G#m
I said there'd been a flood 
C#m7                    G#m
I said there's nothing left 
F#                       E
I hoped that you would come 
                  D#7sus4  D#
I gave you my address 
     Gm                 D7sus4   D7
You walk into my room 
      Gm                    Dm7   D/A
You stand there at my desk,
  Gm                 D7sus4   D7
Begin your letter to
               Gm          Dm7   D/A
The one who's coming next 
    D#               D7
(Begin your letter to)
D#maj7  D7                        Gm
(Oooooooo    the one who's coming next)
