[Intro] Bm G D A x4 [Verse 1]
Bm    G      D    A
  Now coming down out of this

Bm        G         D    A
swan dive   to your arms

Bm  G       D      A
  I make no sounds when I

  Bm              G      D    A
move through your   reservoir

Bm                 G
  but I wake up quick

Bm                 G
  and I wake up sick

   Bm   G      D  Em
As you abandon me into these

G         A           Bm  Bm
fields of rank and file
[Pre-chorus 1]
Bm           A       G        D
Through this cloud I hear you breathing

Bm            A      G          D          Em   F#
Through these bars I watch them bring more in
[Chorus]
      D                 F#m                G    G
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home

        D                  F#m           G
where I slow dance to this romance on my own

       Em                   F#m                 A
May be two to tango but boy     it's one to let go

A                           Bm  G  D  A
  Well it's just one to let go
Bm G D A [Verse 2]
Bm    G        D      A
  Now boy keep still, now don't

Bm             G       D  A
spread yourself around

Bm        G       D     A
  Now get back in line, eat your

Bm             G        D    A
bread and just work the plow

Bm                       G
  'Cause you're not through,

Bm                           G
  they're not done with with you

        Bm G         D        Em
Did you    think you were the only

G          A        Bm    Bm
one that's been let down?
[Pre-chorus 2]
   Bm          A      G           D
So sleep tight little boys of the new damned

Bm          A           G             D        Em   F#
Another the drop in the tidal wave of quicksand
[Chorus]
      D                 F#m                G    G
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home

        D                  F#m           G
where I slow dance to this romance on my own

         Em                   F#m                 A  A
May take two to tango but boy     it's one to let go
[Bridge]
     G      Bm  Em        D
Now another bad idea gets through

G                 Em      A
Down the assembly line to you

       Bm    Em                   Bm
You're every bridge I should have burned

      Em            Bm
Every lesson I've unlearned
[Pre-chorus 3]
Bm      A            G       D
In this smoke-filled waiting room

       Bm   A     G         D
With incarcerated love sick fools

       Em              F#
I will wait for you to cut me loose
[Chorus]
F#
But till then I'll...

D                 F#m            G    G
Send back letters from wasteland home

        D                  F#m           G   G
Where I slow dance to this romance on my own

      D                 F#m                G
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home

G            D                  F#m           G   G
From where I slow dance to this romance on my own
[Outro] D F#m G G x4 D
