Hey, this is me trying to simplify the song and play it on acoustic. I hope it helps! The X's mean just a scratch stroke. The pattern you follow is marked out by the words the X's are over.
FDeaGr Mr. GepeCtto:G I Amhope this finds you Fwell I Gwrote this lCetter G 'cause we mE5iss you here in Fhell
And now I kCnow it's hard when you Gdon't know what to think And eAmvery single smile is a tFhorn when you'Gre waking up C You might try but you wGon't get by until you're cAmrucified for all the Fthings you tGry to do
Well CI don't care if you Gsink or swim And AmI don't care how you hEmold it in As lFong as you don't bCother me with aFll the things I don't bGother you with
And C9 times out of 1G0 you might be right Am But what about that tEmime you know you're wrong? F Keep singing that Csame song And Feverybody smiles but they'll nGever get along
XX XX X X X X X I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go: But everybody's going down tonight [Chorus]

FSo come Gclean CNo one should have have to Glive with the things you've Amseen But Fyou're living Ganyway Well I Cstop the car and Gput her in park AndAm I step outside (godEm I hate this part) When I Fsee what I saw what I Cthought was a lie; it was Fmore Than a chore I'm just doGing what I need to get-
CI don't care if you Gleave or stay But weAm might as well split Because it's Emnot the same as it Fwas When we said our Clast goodbye And iFf you want the truth: I was Ghoping one of us would C Pass away because it'd Gbe much easier tAmhen We could all get toEmgether and think about wFhen We were young we were dCumb we were numb but in lFove And I'm done so I'm seGnding out this letter today
