Words become,
Dm Dm7 G7
But a lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned
D#7 (main riff)
by the time you read this letter.
A#
Sins become
Dm Dm7 G7
Oh, but the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone
D#7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
Dm D7 G7
Oh, libraries of guilt will be razed and burned
D#7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
[Chorus]
F A#
If I'm not there to remind ourselves,
G7 Cm Cm7/A#
I'll send a friend with a plan.
D# A#
I only want you to be happier,
D# Dm F A#sus2
I only need you to let go, oh oh, ah ahh...

Words become

[Outro]
D# D#7 A#
We don't need the shelter
Gm A# F F7
And we barely fear the rain
Gm Gm9/F# D#7
We've been soaked too long to care
A#
Or complain
D# D#7 A#
We don't need the money
Gm A# F F7
And we barely need our names
Gm Gm9/F# D#7
I won't call the cops for comfort
A#
right now I call a friend
