Dear 
        C   G  Am                  F 
Mr. Gepetto: I hope this finds you well 
  G           C     G 
I wrote this letter 
           E5              F 
'cause we miss you here in hell 

           C                      G 
And now I know it's hard when you don't know what to think 
     Am                      F             G 
And every single smile is a thorn when you're waking up 
C                        G                         Am 
  You might try but you won't get by until you're crucified for all the 
F           G 
things you try to do 

     C                   G 
Well I don't care if you sink or swim 
    Am                    Em 
And I don't care how you hold it in 
    F                 C              F                      G 
As long as you don't bother me with all the things I don't bother you with 

    C               G 
And 9 times out of 10 you might be right 
Am                     Em 
  But what about that time you know you're wrong? 
F                  C 
 Keep singing that same song 
    F                             G 
And everybody smiles but they'll never get along 

    
I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go: 
But everybody's going down tonight 

C5 G5 We are the few that won't say nothing right A5 F5 G5 We are the footsteps fading into the night C5 G5 A5 F5 G5 Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say: C5 G5 I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this A5 F5 G5 But they gave it to me so I might as well be proud of it C5 G5 And I don't know where we went wrong A5 F5 G5 All i know now is i got to do something right
C G Am F G C G Am F G So come clean C G Am No one should have have to live with the things you've seen F G But you're living anyway C G Well I stop the car and put her in park Am Em And I step outside (god I hate this part) F C F When I see what I saw what I thought was a lie; it was more G Than a chore I'm just doing what I need to get- C G I don't care if you leave or stay Am But we might as well split Em F Because it's not the same as it was C When we said our last goodbye F G And if you want the truth: I was hoping one of us would C G Am Pass away because it'd be much easier then Em F We could all get together and think about when C F We were young we were dumb we were numb but in love G And I'm done so I'm sending out this letter today I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go: But everybody's going down tonight Chorus C G Am F G (2x) C G Am F G This has been the best night of my life C G I could've lost my life Am F And I would've lost my mind G C G But now I'm fine and I find Am F G That this has been the best night of my C G This has been the best night of my Am F G I still can't believe they had the heart to apologize C G I could've lost my life Am F And I would've lost my mind G C G But now I'm fine and I find Am F G That this has been the best night of my Bridge C G Am F G And as the day fades no one investigates C G Am F G Nobody answers when she calls his name C G Am F G Another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave C G Am Fone strum I want to hold her and tell her: it's not your fault C5 G5 A5 F5 G5 Na na na... Bridge Na na na... It's not your fault chorus (2x)
