Verse 1:
                            Am 
We used to write each other letters 
               Am 
Such beautiful letters 
                          F 
And every time I'd see my name in her handwriting on an envelope 
                       G 
My day would get a bit better 
            Am 
I didn't forget her 
                    Am 
How could I ever forget her? 
                   F 
But now all that's left on my desk in the dust and neglect 
                            G 
Is some envelopes, empty as ever 



       Am                      G/B                    C 
It's a terrible thing to share everything that you've got 
                        Dm7 
With the one person who matters 
                       C/E 
And have it not really matter 
                            F 
We used to write each other letters

Verse 2:
                     Am 
And then one day you dried up 
                               Am 
Just imagined you were kind of tied up 
F 
God only knows I didn't want to impose 
          F                     G 
So I just bit my tongue with a stiff lip 
             Am          Asus2 
Until it was far too late 
               Asus4      Asus2 
For me to even contemplate 
F                     F(b5) 
Writing again just to ask where you'd been 
     F                         G 
So I guess we just settled on stalemate 


 
       Am                      G/B                    C 
It's a terrible thing to share everything that you've got 
                        Dm7

                       C/E 
And have it not really matter 
                            F 
We used to write each other letters 
       Am                      G/B                    C 
It's a terrible thing to share everything that you've got 
                        Dm7 
With the one person who matters 
                       C/E 
And have it not really matter 
                            F 
We used to write each other letters 



Bridge:
         C 
Yeah, goddammit now, this wasn't part of the plan 
  F 
I let you down, but please understand 
    Am 
You have to bear with me if I'm fucking this up 
            F 
Because the truth is I'm useless at opening up 
C 
Both of us know it wasn't love in the end 
         F 
You were more of a teacher, a distant best friend 
          Am 
I've been missing our missives, and mourning our youth 
          F 
And if we got on the phone, we'd tell each other the truth and say 
     G                            F 
'I'm tired of just making do, I'm tired of just muddling through 
           G                       F 
Aren't you tired of making do? I'm tired of muddling through' 



       Am                      G/B                    C 
It's a terrible thing to share everything that you've got 
                        Dm7 
With the one person who matters 
                       C/E 
And have it not really matter 
                            F 
We used to write each other letters 
           Am                     G/B                    C 
But it's a curious thing to doubt everything that you've got 
                Dm7 
Get saved by a stranger 
                       C/E 
You knew when you were younger 
                           F 
I'm going to write another letter 




                         Am    G/B    C 
I need to try and put it better 
Dm7                       C/E 
 I need to try and put it better 
                        F 
I started writing you a letter
