Intro: Am
Am
I used to write
C/G F C
I used to write letters I used to sign my name
Am
I used to sleep at night
C/G F C
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain
Am
But by the time we met
C/G F C
By the time we met the times had already changed
Am C/G F C
Am
So I never wrote a letter
C/G F C
I never took my true heart I never wrote it down
Am
So when the lights cut out
C/G F C
I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown
Bridge:
D5 C Am
Now our lives are changing fast
D5 C Am
Now our lives are changing fast
G Em D5
Hope that something pure can last
G Em D5
Hope that something pure can last
Am
But it seems strange
C/G F C
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
Am
But what's stranger still
C/G F C
Is how something so small can keep you alive
Am
We used to wait
C/G F C
We used to waste hours just walking around
Am
We used to wait
C/G F C
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
Chorus:
Am C C/G Am
Ooh we used to wait

Ooh we used to wait
G C C/G Am
Ooh we used to wait (Sometimes it never came)
C C/G Am
Ooh we used to wait (Sometimes it never came)
C C/G F G C
Ooh we used to wait (Still moving through the pain)
Ooh
Am
I'm gonna write
C/G F C
A letter to my true love I'm gonna sign my name
Am
Like a patient on a table
C/G F C
I wanna walk again gonna move through the pain

Hope that something pure can last
