Words become,
G#m G#m7 C#7
But a lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned
A7 (main riff)
by the time you read this letter.
E
Sins become
G#m G#m7 C#7
Oh, but the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone
A7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
G#m G#7 C#7
Oh, libraries of guilt will be razed and burned
A7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
[Chorus]
B E
If I'm not there to remind ourselves,
C#7 F#m F#m7/E
I'll send a friend with a plan.
A E
I only want you to be happier,
A G#m B Esus2
I only need you to let go, oh oh, ah ahh...
E
Words become
G#m G#m7 C#7

By the time you reach the pretender
[Chorus]

The coffee's gone and the rooster's lunch

[Outro]
A A7 E
We don't need the shelter
C#m E B B7
And we barely fear the rain
C#m C#m9/C A7
We've been soaked too long to care
E
Or complain
A A7 E
We don't need the money
C#m E B B7
And we barely need our names
C#m C#m9/C A7
I won't call the cops for comfort
E
right now I call a friend
