Words become,
A#m A#m7 D#7
But a lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned

by the time you read this letter.
F#
Sins become
A#m A#m7 D#7
Oh, but the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone

By the time you reach the pretender
A#m A#7 D#7
Oh, libraries of guilt will be razed and burned

By the time you reach the pretender
[Chorus]

If I'm not there to remind ourselves,

I'll send a friend with a plan.

I only want you to be happier,
B A#m C# F#sus2
I only need you to let go, oh oh, ah ahh...

By the time you reach the pretender

[Outro]
B B7 F#
We don't need the shelter
D#m F# C# C#7
And we barely fear the rain
D#m D#m9/D B7
We've been soaked too long to care
F#
Or complain
B B7 F#
We don't need the money
D#m F# C# C#7
And we barely need our names
D#m D#m9/D B7
I won't call the cops for comfort
F#
right now I call a friend
