[Intro]
Emaj7 Dmaj7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
Emaj7Now I know this letter is right out of the blue
Dmaj7All I ever wanted was to talk to you
Emaj7In a café, in a moving rented car
Dmaj7Heading to the nearest place that felt like far
Amaj7"Honey," can I call you that in secret print?
Gmaj7Words will never hurt you if the motive's clear
F#m7All I want for you is joy and peaceful love
BWho you get it from is not my main conEmaj7cern Dmaj7
[Verse 2]
Emaj7It's like a fountain every time I think of you
Dmaj7Turning on the prose that would encircle you
Emaj7Though I messed it up, I figured that I might
Dmaj7See you true and clearly in another life
Amaj7As the rain falls slowly on this sliding roof
Gmaj7I'm inclined to tell you all about the truth
F#m7Years of wondering what you were thinking of
BI've given into endless days of being a sloth
[Trumpet Solo]
Emaj7 Dmaj7 (x2)
[Verse 3]
Emaj7If I could have the energy to chase the day
Dmaj7I would end up chasing all the good away
Emaj7Endless youth is wasted on the fallen kid
Dmaj7Down a tunnel of mistakes, they always fled
Amaj7Who is there to pick up on the bloody mess
Gmaj7Who is there to mop their heads with tenderness
F#m7No one human, nobody is good enough
BTo envelope the human heart when life is rough
[Instrumental]
C#7 F# B7 E A D7 F#m7 B
[Verse 4]
Emaj7How can this be done? How can I make it through?
Dmaj7Teenage dreams do never what they're meant to do
Emaj7Knock a door and listen to the wisdom speak
Dmaj7Leave your knife, your razor, and your make believe
Amaj7Though the world is fucked according to the news
Gmaj7As we get you out of what you have to do
F#m7Though the world is fucked and swinging to the right
BDoesn't get you out of what you have to do tonight
[Outro]
