[Verse 1]
Am We used to write each other letters Am Such beautiful letters F And every time I'd see my name in her handwriting on an envelope G My day would get a bit better Am I didn't forget her Am How could I ever forget her? F But now all that's left on my desk in the dust and neglect G Is some envelopes, empty as ever
[Chorus]
Am G/B C It's a terrible thing to share everything that you've got Dm7 With the one person who matters C/E And have it not really matter F We used to write each other letters
[Instrumental]
| Am | Asus2 | Asus4 | Asus2 |
| F | F(b5) | F | G |
[Verse 2]
Am And then one day you dried up Am Just imagined you were kind of tied up F God only knows I didn't want to impose F G So I just bit my tongue with a stiff lip Am Asus2 Until it was far too late Asus4 Asus2 For me to even contemplate F F(b5) Writing again just to ask where you'd been F G So I guess we just settled on stalemate
[Chorus]
Am G/B C It's a terrible thing to share everything that you've got Dm7 With the one person who matters C/E And have it not really matter F We used to write each other letters Am G/B C It's a terrible thing to share everything that you've got Dm7 With the one person who matters C/E And have it not really matter F We used to write each other letters
[Bridge]
C Yeah, goddammit now, this wasn't part of the plan F I let you down, but please understand Am You have to bear with me if I'm fucking this up F Because the truth is I'm useless at opening up C Both of us know it wasn't love in the end F You were more of a teacher, a distant best friend Am I've been missing our missives, and mourning our youth F And if we got on the phone, we'd tell each other the truth and say G F "I'm tired of just making do, I'm tired of just muddling through G F Aren't you tired of making do? I'm tired of muddling through"
[Chorus]
Am G/B C It's a terrible thing to share everything that you've got Dm7 With the one person who matters C/E And have it not really matter F We used to write each other letters Am G/B C But it's a curious thing to doubt everything that you've got Dm7 Get saved by a stranger C/E You knew when you were younger F I'm going to write another letter
[Post-Chorus]
Am G/B C I need to try and put it better Dm7 C/E I need to try and put it better F I started writing you a letter
[Outro]
