[Verse 1]
Dm     C
  Dear mother
Gm       F                 Dm
Have you got some time for me?
     C       Gm    F
It's late at night
Dm       C
  Like a fool
Gm        F               Dm
I wrote a letter, a final one
      C          Gm   F
In me everything sank


[Pre-Chorus]
    Gm                 F
You told me about your previous lover
            Gm                   F
And how you send him a letter in all of that anger
   Gm      F
We are the same


[Chorus]
Bb      F
I'm far out
C       Am          Bb
Tell me all will be ok
         F          C
And have peace with her
Bb      F
I'm far out
C            Am           Bb
It's raining arrows in my head
        F       C
Can you make it stop?


[Verse 2]
Dm     C
I have fallen
Gm          F             Dm
Somewhere, away from everyone
        C            Gm    F
Have we finished the wine?
Dm         C
  And it's darker
Gm        F               Dm
With this light on in the house
         C               Gm    F
Dirft on that just for a while


[Pre-Chorus]
    Gm                F
And all the fragments strewed in my brain
Gm                        F
Delightful and loving but never the same
   Gm   F
Anymore


[Chorus]
Bb      F
I'm far out
C       Am          Bb
Tell me all will be ok
         F          C
And have peace with her
Bb      F
I'm far out
C            Am           Bb
It's raining arrows in my head
        F       C
Can you make it stop?

[Outro]
Dm     C       Gm           F
  Dear mother, midnight has called
               Dm
And I'm out of luck
        C          Dm
And I'm nearly done
