[Verse]
D
Words become,
F#m F#m7 B7
But a lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned
G7 (main riff)
by the time you read this letter.
D
Sins become
F#m F#m7 B7
Oh, but the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone
G7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
F#m F#7 B7
Oh, libraries of guilt will be razed and burned
G7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
[Chorus]
A D
If I'm not there to remind ourselves,
B7 Em Em7/D
I'll send a friend with a plan.
G D
I only want you to be happier,
G F#m A Dsus2
I only need you to let go, oh oh, ah ahh...
D
Words become
F#m F#m7 B7
ah but lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned

By the time you read this letter

All the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone
G7 (main riff)
By the time you reach the pretender
[Chorus]
A D
The coffee's gone and the rooster's lunch

I only call if I get worried
G D
I only want you to be happier,

I only need you to let go, oh oh, ah ahh...

[Outro]
G G7 D
We don't need the shelter
Bm D A A7
And we barely fear the rain
Bm Bm9/A# G7
We've been soaked too long to care
D
Or complain
G G7 D
We don't need the money
Bm D A A7
And we barely need our names
Bm Bm9/A# G7
I won't call the cops for comfort
D
right now I call a friend
