Verse 1
(D major) (Gsus2) Well (G major) I've (D major) been looking
at old photographs
Remembering just (G major) how she laugh (Gsus2) s
An (G major) (D major) d I don't want to sound naive
But I honestly believe that I
could get (Gsus2) her back
If (D major) I wrote her one more song,
or found a place we both belong (Gsus2)
If (D major) I just told her how I felt
and learned to expose myself in
letters eighteen pages long
Well, I'd remind her of
those personal things,
all our (G major) videos and her dia (D major) mond ring
A falling star that came and went
And a thousand letters
that were written but (G major) nev (D major) er sent
They were never sent (Gsus2)
But (D major) Chris says he understands
You see there was a time
when he was her man
He says, could have loved her,
but she fell for some brother
in a rock and roll band.
(G major) And (D major) after that he faded fast.
He found his needles (G major) through the grass.
Now (D major) he picks up the telephone,
reeking of methadone,
babbling about (G major) the past.
And (D major) he loves to tell me all
that personal stuff
About the (G major) rooftop (D major) kisses
(G major) and the (Gsus2) trips they took
(G major) Did (D major) you know it's nine hundred
bucks to pay her rent
And a thousand letters
that were written (G major) but never sen (D major) t
They were never sen (Gsus2) t
They were (D major) never the same to you,
they were never the same (Gsus2) to me
An (G major) d her (D major) last letter set the scene,
she said this isn't how I (G major) wanted it to be
And (D major) high on her pedestal,
uncomfortably beautiful,
she still can reach right into me
(G major) But (D major) she lives a lie that never strays
And there's so much
more that I could say
(G major) But if (D major) I wrote it out a thousand times
Lost in between the lines
I think I'd still chuck it all away
(G major) Cause (D major) I can still hear her say
her personal words
But they somehow now
just seem absurd
She's got a brand new life
that I can't prevent
And a (G major) thousand letters
that (D major) were written but (G major) never sent (D major)
They were never sen (Gsus2) t
I (G major) wrote a (Gsus2) thou (G major) sand letters (D major)
I wrote a thousand letter (G major) (Gsus2) s
And I chucked (G major) them (Gsus2) all (G major) away (D major)
