You never liked to get

Gm Dm7 D/A

The letters that I sent

Gm D7sus4 D7

But now you've got the gist

D#maj7 D7sus4 D

Of what my letters meant

Gm D7sus4 D7

You're reading them again,

Gm Dm7 D/A

The ones you didn't burn

Gm D7sus4 D7

You press them to your lips,

My pages of concern

I said there'd been a flood

Cm7 Gm

I said there's nothing left

F D#

I hoped that you would come

I gave you my address

G#m D#7sus4 D#7

Your story was so long,

G#m D#m7 D#/A#

The plot was so intense,

G#m D#7sus4 D#7

It took you years to cross

Emaj7 D#7sus4 D#

The lines of self-defense

G#m D#7sus4 D#7

The wounded forms appear:

G#m D#m7 D#/A#

The loss, the full extent;

G#m D#7sus4 D#7

And simple kindness here,

Emaj7 D#7sus4 D#

The solitude of strength

You walk into my room

Gm Dm7 D/A

You stand there at my desk,

Begin your letter to

Gm Dm7 D/A

The one who's coming next

D#maj7 D7 Gm

(Oooooooo the one who's coming next)
