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

[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/F 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/F D7
I won't call the cops for comfort
A
right now I call a friend
