         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

    C      C/G     F
    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
Bridge:
D5                C        Am

Now our lives are changing fast

G                   Em       D5
Hope that something pure can last

G                   Em       Am
Hope that something pure can last
