Words become,
Bm Bm7 E7
But a lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned

by the time you read this letter.
G
Sins become
Bm Bm7 E7
Oh, but the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone
C7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
Bm B7 E7
Oh, libraries of guilt will be razed and burned
C7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
[Chorus]
D G
If I'm not there to remind ourselves,
E7 Am Am7/G
I'll send a friend with a plan.
C G
I only want you to be happier,
C Bm D Gsus2
I only need you to let go, oh oh, ah ahh...

Words become
Bm Bm7 E7
ah but lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned

The coffee's gone and the rooster's lunch

[Outro]
C C7 G
We don't need the shelter
Em G D D7
And we barely fear the rain
Em Em9/D# C7
We've been soaked too long to care
G
Or complain
C C7 G
We don't need the money
Em G D D7
And we barely need our names
Em Em9/D# C7
I won't call the cops for comfort
G
right now I call a friend
