Words become,
Fm Fm7 A#7
But a lifetime of words will be forgotten and burned

by the time you read this letter.

Sins become
Fm Fm7 A#7
Oh, but the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone

By the time you reach the pretender

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,

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