(A7 A)
A
from out of the pinstripes into the white lights
Bm
i was the one true friend
Esus4
and you were my saviour perfect behavior
D A
money i'd never spend
A
winter's delivering summer's forgiving
Bm
storms in our washed out hearts
Esus4
guessed every second corrected and reckoned
D A
on the words: 'not to part'
CHORUS:
D A E7
when i got better i wrote you a letter but i didn't send it anywhere
D A E7
it floats on a dashboard looks on a churchyard's children's promises to share
Bm F#m E7
the words aren't free so don't you believe them, something had to be declared
Bsus4 F#m C#m
and i have to face july with two holes in my heart
Bm F#m C#m
and i have to face this life with two hearts
A
i could deceive you, or i could receive you
Bm
warmly in my estate
Esus4
smile so politely, correspond nightly,
D A
talk about what we ate
A
then in the winter, everything splinters,
Bm
we will forget our names,
Esus4
sleep in our ashes, hide from the lightening
D A
flashes and the cold rain
CHORUS
D A E7
when i got better i wrote you a letter but i didn't send it anywhere
D A E7
it floats on a dashboard looks on a churchyard's children's promises to share
Bm F#m E7
the words aren't free so don't you believe them, something had to be declared
Bsus4 F#m C#m
and i have to face july with two holes in my heart
Bm F#m C#m
and i have to face this life with two hearts
