Misc Soundtrack – Monument Valley - Casual - Dear John Letters (Ukulele)

C                                    Am
We wrote our Dear John letters in the same pen

    G                                  C
and before the ink was dry they were already stamped and sent

C                                Am
yours to West Berlin and mine to Kent

    G                                C
and they sat side by side until they went

C                                       Am
Your Sunday school script was packed in tight

G                             C
careful and considered in the faltering bathroom light

C                                         Am
mine in the spidery hand in which I still write

G                            C
I thought of every line as a fuse ready to light

F                                    C
They came back broken they came back bent

    F                                          C
and expected us to be what they thought they’d left

              G
and though we weren’t quite whole

                   F
turned out we were all

                         C
each other needed to grow old

C                                      Am
The thick skin on my back grew hard to cut

    G                                        C
I’m sure the words were sharp but they never stuck

C                              Am
we sat back pretty easy and we watched the decades bend

G                                       C
home, bus stop, shop, bus stop and home again

F                                    C
They came back broken they came back bent

    F                                          C
and expected us to be what they thought they’d left

              G
and though we weren’t quite whole

                   F
turned out we were all

                         C
each other needed to grow old

C                                          Am
Now my stiff limbs jerk across the station concours

       G                     C
like a wind up toy forced to walk

C                                             Am
and you’ve been dead six years now though sometimes it feels like more

         G         C
and I am old, I am old

C                                         Am
you’ve been dead six years now though sometimes it feels like more

         G         C
and I am old, I am old
