Belle and Sebastian – This Letter (Guitar)

Emaj7
Now I know this letter is right out of the blue

Dmaj7
All I ever wanted was to talk to you

Emaj7
In a café, in a moving rented car

Dmaj7
Heading to the nearest place that felt like far

Amaj7
"Honey," can I call you that in secret print?

Gmaj7
Words will never hurt you if the motive's clear

F#m7
All I want for you is joy and peaceful love

B                                     Emaj7  Dmaj7
Who you get it from is not my main concern

Emaj7
It's like a fountain every time I think of you

Dmaj7
Turning on the prose that would encircle you

Emaj7
Though I messed it up, I figured that I might

Dmaj7
See you true and clearly in another life

Amaj7
As the rain falls slowly on this sliding roof

Gmaj7
I'm inclined to tell you all about the truth

F#m7
Years of wondering what you were thinking of

B
I've given into endless days of being a sloth

Emaj7
If I could have the energy to chase the day

Dmaj7
I would end up chasing all the good away

Emaj7
Endless youth is wasted on the fallen kid

Dmaj7
Down a tunnel of mistakes, they always fled

Amaj7
Who is there to pick up on the bloody mess

Gmaj7
Who is there to mop their heads with tenderness

F#m7
No one human, nobody is good enough

B
To envelope the human heart when life is rough

Emaj7
How can this be done? How can I make it through?

Dmaj7
Teenage dreams do never what they're meant to do

Emaj7
Knock a door and listen to the wisdom speak

Dmaj7
Leave your knife, your razor, and your make believe

Amaj7
Though the world is fucked according to the news

Gmaj7
As we get you out of what you have to do

F#m7
Though the world is fucked and swinging to the right

B
Doesn't get you out of what you have to do tonight
