Intro: Em C G D
G Em
You wrote letters to our friends
D
So that we could all pretend
C G
You were able to defend my love
G Em
Complex lines in verdigris
D
I owe you and you owe me
C G
But I'm sure we won't agree, my love
Em C G D
And all the walls were falling down
Em C G D
Where all the words you wrote were found
Em C G D
And all the silent space around
Em C G D
Was suddenly alive
Instrumental: Em C G D
(Same Chords as the other verses)
We took them as we took our leave
Filling pockets, filling sleeves
We were little more than thieves, my love
And we read every single note
And every thought and every quote
I cried at every word you wrote, my love
