Tom: A
E7/D A/C#
I've not received your letter
Ami/C D E
My fingernails are chewed down to the bone
E Ema7/D#
So many different ways
E7/D A/C#
I've had to say I'm sorry
Ami/C D E
While I'm left here in this eight by ten alone
[Pre-chorus 1]
A E
It's not the four walls movin' in that tortures me
A B
It's not the cold cement or shivers down my spine
E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C#
It's just the visions in my head that make me paranoid
Ami/C D E
And wonder if I get out will you be mine
[Instrumental Interlude]
E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C# Ami/C D E [x2]
[Verse 2]
E Ema7/D#
I never should have treated you
E7/D A/C#
so bad my love I'm sorry
Ami/C D E
I'm broken, now I can see that now it's true
E Ema7/D# E7/D
My picket fence is turning razor wire
A/C#
And now I'm awaiting trial
Ami/C D E
Things you have to know I did not do
[Pre-chorus 2]
A E
If I could get a word with you I'd be just fine
A B
Or any envelope with both your name and mine
E Ema7/D#
We'd be enough to keep me going
E7/D A/C#
In a world where I'm left knowing that
Ami/C D E
There's something more to live for just outside
[Chorus]
A B
Seems like the last time, feels like the first
E Ema7/D# C#mi B
Though I've had bad days, this has to be my worst
A B D E
I'm left thinking of you dear, while I'm waiting here
[Solo]
E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C# Ami/C D E [x2]
A E A B
E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C# Ami/C D E
Improv on E
[Verse 3]
E Ema7/D#
I haven't seen the sun
E7/D A/C#
Since it rested on your shoulder
Ami/C D E
While we walked along that vacant river side
E Ema7/D#
They carried me away
E7/D A/C#
To a place where I get older
Ami/C D E
If I cannot prove to them you never died
[Chorus 2]
A B
Seems like the last time, feels like the first
E Ema7/D# C#mi B
Though I've had bad days, this has to be my worst
A B D E
I'm left thinking of you dear, while I'm waiting here
[Instrument Interlude]
E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C# Ami/C D E [x2]
[Guitar solo]
A E A B
E Ema7/D# E7/D A/C# Ami/C D E
[Chorus 3]
A B
Seems like the last time, feels like the first
E Ema7/D# C#mi B
Though I've had bad days, this has to be my worst
A B D E
I'm left thinking of you dear, while I'm waiting here
[Instrumental to end]
