D     D7           A
I recall the moment,

         F#m     A       E      E7
though I can't recall the day.

    F#m    F#m9/E#    D7
Every other song was there

   A
on parade

[Verse]
A
Words become,

      C#m         C#m7             F#7
But a lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned
D7 (main riff) by the time you read this letter.
A
Sins become

            C#m          C#m7         F#7
Oh, but the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone
D7 (main riff) By the time you reach the pretender
    C#m          C#7           F#7
Oh, libraries of guilt will be razed and  burned
D7 (main riff) By the time you reach the pretender [Chorus]
E                       A
If I'm not there to remind ourselves,

F#7                        Bm     Bm7/A
I'll send a friend with a plan.

D                           A
I only want you to be happier,

D                     C#m    E       Asus2
I only need you to let go,  oh oh, ah ahh...

A
Words become

       C#m         C#m7          F#7
ah but lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned
D7 (main riff) By the time you read this letter
        C#m          C#m7         F#7
All the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone
D7 (main riff) By the time you reach the pretender [Chorus]
E                         A
The coffee's gone and the rooster's lunch

F#7                  Bm      Bm7/A
I only call if I get worried

D                           A
I only want you to be happier,

D                     C#m    E       Asus
I only need you to let go,  oh oh, ah ahh...
Main riff A Dm [Outro]
D        D7       A
We don't need the shelter

       F#m    A        E   E7
And we barely fear the rain

             F#m    F#m9/E#    D7
We've been soaked too long to care

   A
Or complain

D        D7       A
We don't need the money

       F#m    A        E    E7
And we barely need our names

        F#m      F#m9/E#  D7
I won't call the cops for comfort

                   A
right now I call a friend
