[Intro] A B E Ema7/D# C#mi C#m7/B A B E [Verse 1]
E                     Ema7/D#
It's been over thirty days

     E7/D              A/C#
I've not received your letter

    Ami/C          D                  E
My fingernails are chewed down to the bone

E                 Ema7/D#
So many different ways

     E7/D           A/C#
I've had to say I'm sorry

          Ami/C             D            E
While I'm left here in this eight by ten alone
[Pre-chorus 1]
A                                      E
It's not the four walls movin' in that tortures me

A                                   B
It's not the cold cement or shivers down my spine

E                           Ema7/D#   E7/D    A/C#
It's just the visions in my head that make me paranoid

Ami/C               D               E
And wonder if I get out will you be mine
[Instrumental Interlude] E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C# Ami/C D E [x2] [Verse 2]
E                   Ema7/D#
I never should have treated you

   E7/D            A/C#
so bad my love I'm sorry

    Ami/C             D                 E
I'm broken, now I can see that now it's true

   E               Ema7/D#       E7/D
My picket fence is turning razor wire

            A/C#
And now I'm awaiting trial

Ami/C              D              E
Things you have to know I did not do
[Pre-chorus 2]
A                                  E
If I could get a word with you I'd be just fine

A                              B
Or any envelope with both your name and mine

E                         Ema7/D#
We'd be enough to keep me going

     E7/D                 A/C#
In a world where I'm left knowing that

        Ami/C                  D        E
There's something more to live for just outside
[Chorus]
A                         B
Seems like the last time, feels like the first

E               Ema7/D#   C#mi              B
Though I've had bad days, this has to be my worst

A                        B     D                 E
I'm left thinking of you dear, while I'm waiting here
[Solo] E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C# Ami/C D E [x2] A E A B E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C# Ami/C D E Improv on E [Verse 3]
E                  Ema7/D#
I haven't seen the sun

         E7/D           A/C#
Since it rested on your shoulder

         Ami/C             D            E
While we walked along that vacant river side

E               Ema7/D#
They carried me away

     E7/D              A/C#
To a place where I get older

     Ami/C           D              E
If I cannot prove to them you never died
[Chorus 2]
A                         B
Seems like the last time, feels like the first

E               Ema7/D#   C#mi              B
Though I've had bad days, this has to be my worst

A                        B     D                 E
I'm left thinking of you dear, while I'm waiting here
[Instrument Interlude] E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C# Ami/C D E [x2] [Guitar solo] A E A B E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C# Ami/C D E [Chorus 3]
A                         B
Seems like the last time, feels like the first

E               Ema7/D#   C#mi              B
Though I've had bad days, this has to be my worst

A                        B     D                 E
I'm left thinking of you dear, while I'm waiting here
