Capo: 1 Tuning:

I saw that no one had put the chord progression throughout the whole song so I took that liberty. Credit goes to "Unregistered" for actually finding the chords. lol! Standard tuning Capo on 1st fret

^DLove writes a ^Dletter and ^Asends it to ^Dhate. ^GMy vacations ^Gending. I'm ^Acoming home ^Dlate. ^GThe weather was ^Afine and the ^Docean was ^Bmgreat and I ^Dcan't wait to ^Asee you ^Gagain. ^G

^DHate reads the^D letter and^A throws it a^Dway. ^G"No one here ^Gcares if you^A go or you s^Dtay. ^GI barely even no^Aticed that yo^Du were awa^Bmy. I'll s^Dee you or I wo^An't, wha^Gtever." ^G

^DLove sings a s^Dong as she ^Asails throug^Dh the sky. ^GThe water loo^Gks bluer thr^Aough her pre^Dtty eyes. ^GAnd everyone kno^Aws it wheneve^Dr she flie^Bms, and al^Dso when she co^Ames down^G. ^G

^DHate keeps his^D head up an^Ad walks thro^Dugh the street. ^GEvery strange^Gr and drifte^Ar he greets.^D ^GAnd shakes hands^A with every l^Doner he me^Bmets with a^D serious look ^Aon his f^Gace. ^G

^DLove arrives s^Dafely with ^Asuitcase in ^Dtow. ^GCarrying with^G her the goo^Ad things we ^Dknow. ^GA reason to live^A and a reason^D to grow. ^Bm To tru^Dst. To hope. T^Ao care. ^G ^G

^DHate sits alon^De on the ho^Aod of his ca^Dr. ^GWithout much ^Gregard to th^Ae moon or th^De stars. ^GLazily killing t^Ahe last of a ^Djar ^Bm of the^D strongest stu^Aff you c^Gan drink.^G

^DLove takes a t^Daxi, a youn^Ag man drives^D. ^GAs soon as he^G sees her, h^Aope fills hi^Ds eyes. ^GBut tears follow^A after, at th^De end of t^Bmhe ride, cause ^Dhe might never^A see her^G again. ^G

^DHate gets home^D lucky to s^Atill be aliv^De. ^GHe screams o'^Ger the sidew^Aalk and into^D the drive. ^GThe clock in the^A kitchen says^D 2:55, ^Bm And th^De clock in the^A kitchen^G is slow.^G

^DLove has been ^Dwaiting, pa^Atient and ki^Dnd. ^GJust wanting ^Ga phone call^A or some kin^Dd of sign, ^GThat the one tha^At she cares f^Dor, who's ^Bmout of his mind, Will m^Dake it back sa^Afe to he^Gr arms. ^G

^DHate stumbles ^Dforward and^A leans in th^De door. ^GWeary head hu^Gng, eyes to ^Athe floor. ^D ^GHe says "Love, I^A'm sorry", an^Dd she says^Bm, "What for?" I'm yo^Dur and that's ^Ait, What^Gever. ^G

I ^Gshould not have ^Abeen ^Dgone for so ^Bmlong. I'm ^Dyours and that's i^At, f^Gorever." ^G You're ^Dmine and that's ^Ait, ^Gforever. ^G
