F
Words become,
Am Am7 D7
But a lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned
A#7 (main riff)
by the time you read this letter.
F
Sins become
Am Am7 D7
Oh, but the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone
A#7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
Am A7 D7
Oh, libraries of guilt will be razed and burned
A#7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
[Chorus]
C F
If I'm not there to remind ourselves,
D7 Gm Gm7/F
I'll send a friend with a plan.
A# F
I only want you to be happier,
A# Am C Fsus2
I only need you to let go, oh oh, ah ahh...

[Outro]
A# A#7 F
We don't need the shelter
Dm F C C7
And we barely fear the rain
Dm Dm9/C# A#7
We've been soaked too long to care
F
Or complain
A# A#7 F
We don't need the money
Dm F C C7
And we barely need our names
Dm Dm9/C# A#7
I won't call the cops for comfort
F
right now I call a friend
