Writing Letters

            G                D
I spend my days writing letters
             Em               C
I spend my evenings singing songs
               G                
The last five years have gone so 
   D
quickly
        Em                    C
Someday soon my time will be done

      G                         D
And I used to walk in New York City
                Em           
But watch the sunrise east of 
            C
Tompkins Square
                 G                 
Since I've been gone, does the city
  D
 miss me?
    Em                 C
I wonder if she hears my call

Chorus:
            G                 D
Though I am far away and I am all 
alone
           Em                      
There are parts of me that still 
   C
are holding on
            G                    
To moments long since passed, and 
         D
secrets I recall
               Em               
And friends I used to have who I 
  C
don't know anymore

             G                D
I watch the sky in each new city
              Em                 
It's not so different, I see more 
   C
stars
                    G              
Now I'm counting clouds to calm my 
   D
feelings
              Em                 C
Which tend to race away in the dark

Chorus
              G                
I don't wanna be or seem like I 
        D
don't care
              Em              C
It just gets hard on me out there

             G                 D
But when I dream I'm not in Memphis
            Em               C
I'm on my way home on that train
            G               
And I don't feel so lost and 
     D
different
          Em                    
Lord, the miles, how they cut me 
  C
deep
