A hundred billion letters and they've all gone unanswered

So if you get a second write me back

Maybe you're the pestilence and chaos kinda guy

In which case you and your stupid kid can go to hell

Uhh dear god sorry for that stuff I wrote you last time
F#m7 B E
The cancer ran its course and lately I just feel confused
E A B
Did you not get my letters? I put on some extra stamps
F#m7 B E
I feel like you could have saved her but you weren't in the mood
[Chorus]
F#m B C#m
A hundred billion letters and they've all gone unanswered

So if you get a second write me back

But I've been doing yoga and I swear I've gotten zen
E A B
I like being alive, I'd like to keep on doing it
F#m7 B E
But so did everybody else and it never worked for them
E A B
But sometimes in the forest or the wide and blue horizon
F#m7 B E
I feel something rising I know that I'm okay
E A B
When I'm sitting in a sunbeam or laughing with my lover
F#m7 B E
I write you an angry letter but then I throw it away
