E-mail: cbaoth@gmx.net
Tuning: Standard
I just took the basic chords from the existing contributions and made some quick corrections
/ additions and added the full lyrics. I just listened to it a few times so it may still not be
100% perfect / open for some additional interpretation, but the basic structure should be correct.
Chords (used by me):
Asus2 (optional transition, last stroke when playing A)

[Intro]
Bm - G - E - A
Bm - G - E - A
[Verse]
IBm woke you up atG four this morning
E To whimper and toA whine
Bm To hear myself throughG spit and crackle of
E A poor long distanceA line
Bm Twelve clever ways toG say I love you
E With words that alwaysA fail
Bm Hang up and light aG cigarette, sit
E Waiting for theA mail
Bm Some flyers from dGepartment stores, a-
E Another get richA plan
Bm A bill or two, someG shampoo and a
E Note from Ed MAcMann
Bm Although you'll alwaysG be the one in
E Which I will coAnfide
Bm Sometimes you're theG razor on my
E Private waterA slide
[Chorus]
D By theA way, I got yourBm letter yesteGrday
It said there'sD noA need to beBm sad
D It said thatA some things wouldBm never everG change
But thatE someBm already hAad
D And I'dA heard it from theBm corner of myG ear how that
D VoiceA makes thingsBm right
D And I'mA sure there's somethingBm more than memGory
Across theE MarylandA bridge toDnight
[Bridge]
Bm - G - E - A
Bm - G - E - A
[Verse]
Bm How ominous theseG undercurrents
E They crowd me now itA seems
Bm And every time IG meet you in the
E Darkness of mAy dreams
Bm It's likely that I'llG turn around and
E Parody mAyself
Bm Imagine we're inG different places
E Pretend we're someoneA else
Bm I can be J.G Edgar Hoover
E You be JAFK
Bm As power hungryG egocentrics
E We'll paper fight theA nights away
Bm Sometimes you're myG nemesis
E When I am parAanoid
Bm Sometimes I haveG doubts and worries
E Too strong toA avoid
[Chorus]
D By theA way, I got yourBm letter yesteGrday
It said there'sD noA need to beBm sad
D It said thatA some things wouldBm never everG change
But thatE someBm already hAad
D And I'dA heard it from theBm corner of myG ear how that
D VoiceA makes thingsBm right
D And I'mA sure there's somethingBm more than memGory
Across theE MarylandA bridge tonight D
Mhhh, GMhhh, EMarylandA bridge toDnight
Ohhh, GOhhh, EMarylandA bridge toDnight
