Dead Letter

Dm        Dm        Dm        Dm

[Verse 1]
     Dm                    
Dead letter, dead letter of 
   C
immaculate attention,
     Dm                    C   
it's written in blood that flows 
              Dm
through the pen tip.
     Dm                      C
Dead letter, dead letter, failed to 
deliver,
    Dm         C                
the message of love I wanted to give
Dm
 her.

[Verse 2]
    Dm                        C   
She sent a dead letter to the book
        Dm
 on the shelf;
      Dm                      C   
she revealed some secrets she 
           Dm
didn't want to tell.

    Dm                       C
she died on the day that her baby 
was born
        Dm          C             
and the dead letter rests and the 
              Dm
healings were torn.

[Verse 3]
     Dm                    C      
Dead letter, dead letter addressed
             C
 straight to hell,
     Dm                      
it's written to someone; it's 
 C             Dm
written quite well.
     Dm                       C
Dead letter, dead letter will never 
be read,
     Dm          C                
I'll write you a letter as long 
  Dm
its dead.

          F                   
There was no response and they 
 C
thought they had lost him,
F                     C
drugging and drinking cough syrup.
          F                        
When they cought up with him he 
  C
just sat on the floor
     Dm           C               
in a pile of dead letters he just 
         Dm
couldn't finish.

[Verse 4]
     Dm                  C        
Dead letter, dead letter addressed
    Dm
 to you,
   Dm                     C       
it says that I'm sorry; explains 
         Dm
the whole truth.
  Dm               C
I said it you, oh, so long ago,
  Dm               C              
I thought that you got it, I just 
       Dm
didn't know.
