Words become,
D#m D#m7 G#7
But a lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned
E7 (main riff)
by the time you read this letter.
B
Sins become
D#m D#m7 G#7
Oh, but the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone
E7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
D#m D#7 G#7
Oh, libraries of guilt will be razed and burned
E7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
[Chorus]

If I'm not there to remind ourselves,
G#7 C#m C#m7/B
I'll send a friend with a plan.

I only want you to be happier,

I only need you to let go, oh oh, ah ahh...

[Outro]
E E7 B
We don't need the shelter
G#m B F# F#7
And we barely fear the rain
G#m G#m9/G E7
We've been soaked too long to care
B
Or complain
E E7 B
We don't need the money
G#m B F# F#7
And we barely need our names
G#m G#m9/G E7
I won't call the cops for comfort
B
right now I call a friend
