Intro
C G Am Em F
verse 1
C G
She wrote to me and said in a letter
Am F
That she wanted to see if she could do better
C G
She thought that she could if only I’d let her
Am F
And that’s where she stood for worse or for better
G C
And I couldn’t argue cause deep down I knew
Dm G7
As much as it pained me well I felt it too
Chorus
C Am
And oh my love
Em
We’ve got to be more careful
Bb
In the future
C Am
And oh how much
Em
It helps to talk about it
Bb
Let it out
verse 2
C G
Yesterday I found a picture of me
Am F
When I was a baby and I was to be
C G
A man with no home adrift in the sea
Am F
No plan of his own so careless and free
G C
And it makes me sad but then deep down I know
Dm G7
That all is not lost and there’s still room to grow
Chorus
C Am
And oh my love
Em
We’ve got to be more careful

In the future

And oh how much

It helps to talk about it

Get it out
Solo

verse 3
C G
We could be lovers or we could be friends
Am F
Smother each other but that’s how it ends
C G
Could be the wrong words that mean everything
Am F
Like two lonely songbirds that don’t wanna sing
G C
And it’s hard to swallow but deep down inside
Dm G7
I know that it’s true and it can’t be denied
Chorus
C Am
Oh my love
Em
We’ve got to be more careful
Bb
In the future
C Am
And oh how much
Em
It helps to talk about it
Bb
Let it out
C Am
And I’m so proud of
Em
The way we face the truth
Bb
About our future
C Am
And so my love
Em
What will we do without it?
Bb
Do without it?
Fade Out
C G Am Em F
