The Letter

Intro: C F Am G [Verso 1] C F From behind a dirty window looking out onto the frozen sea of Sweden Am G Dreaming of ice skating, on the back of a 2-for-1 I wrote you a letter C F Taking for granted where we've been, we found solace in the shattered dreams of England Am G And we can't help the things we choose, and I pictured you singing the Silver Jews C F Am G C F Am G [Verso 2] C F I still wear my grandma's ring and you sometimes will wear your granddad's tie Am G These days it's hard not to measure by what you've lost but what you can find C F You said it's hard to believe in the age of aeroplanes and miracles Am G But that kind of brightness never appealed to me and I was already headed to the dancefloor Outro: C And if I told you F I was never cool Am And all I wanted G Was just to have you C And when I see you F I will put my Am Arm around you G It will be hard to let you go C And if I told you F I was never cool Am And all I wanted G Was just to have you C And when I see you F I will put my Am Arm around you G It will be hard to let you go It will be hard to let you go C F Am G (x4)
