*** Alan told me that the correct Em7 chord is (02x030). (045050) is probably

Intro 
 
(1) I'm writing you to 
catch you up on places I've been 
You held this letter 
probably got excited, but there's nothing else inside it 
 
(2a) Didn't have a camera by my side this time 
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes 
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm 
in the mood to lose my way with words 
 
Intro 
 
(1) Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy's clich?And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky 
are next to mountains anyway 
 
(2b) Didn't have a camera by my side this time 
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes 
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm 
in the mood to lose my way 
but let me say 
(3) You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes 
it brought me back to life 
You'll be with me next time I go outside 
just no more 3x5's  
 
(4) 
 
I guess you had to be there 
I guess you had to be with me  
(2b) Today I finally overcame 
tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame 
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to 
lose my way but let me say 
(3) You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes 
it brought me back to life 
You'll be with me next time I go outside 
No more 3x5's 
Just no more 3x5's  
 
(5)
