I'm still iffy about a few parts, especially parts with the F#m 

D   A   E   E x2 

D       A 
What do you see 
F#m          E                  D 
When you're lit up next to me 
A               E       E 
But you feel so far 

D       A 
And it's all so strange 
F#m            E                                 
That you never saw the change 
D       A               E       E 
You just felt something go missing in the dark 

D            A 
I wanna write you a letter 
F#m          E 
I wanna write you a song 
D            A 
I wanna make it better 
D            A 
I wanna write you a letter 
F#m          E 
I wanna write you a song 
D       A       E       E 
I wanna make it better, for when the nights get long 
D       A       E       E 
                When the nights get long 
D       A       E       E  
                When the nights get long 

D       A           F#m 
A couple of words 
E               D 
Lit up on a screen 
        A            E        E 
Yeah it's all just make believe 

D                   A        F#m 
And from what I've heard 
        E           D 
There's miles between 
        A               E       E 
What we say and what we mean 

D           A 
I wanna write you a letter 
F#m         E 
I wanna write you a song 
D           A 
I wanna make it better 
D           A 
I wanna write you a letter 
F#m         E 
I wanna write you a song 
D       A       E       E 
I wanna make it better for when the nights get long 
D       A       E       E 
                When the nights get long 
D       A       E       E 
                When the nights get long 
D       A       E       E 
                When the nights get long 
D       A       E       E 

F#m                 D               E 
So I told myself if I'm given the chance 
E 
I won't hold back anymore 
F#m                     D 
I'm not gonna keep it all in 
E 
Not gonna keep it all in 
F#m                     D 
Then I close my eyes and try to hide 
E 
But all of a sudden 
F#m             D 
It's you and me in the middle of it all 

D           A 
I wanna write you a letter 
F#m                     E 
I wanna write you a song 
D           A 
I wanna make it better 
D           A 
I wanna write you a letter 
F#m         E 
I wanna write you a song 
D           A 
I wanna make it better 
D           A 
So I wrote you a letter 
F#m         E 
I'll turn it into a song 
D       A       E       E 
Does that make it better for when the nights get long 
D       A       E       E 
                When the nights get long 
D       A       E       E 
                When the nights get long 
D       A       E       E 
                When the nights get long 
D       A       E       E 
                When the nights get long
