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  

Bb 
In the future 

    C      Am 
And oh how much 

            Em 
It helps to talk about it 

Bb 
Get it out 


Solo 

C    G    Am    Em  F 


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?
