Intro: C#m  G#m  A9  E  A9  E  B 

C#m                    G#m 
Don't write me no more letters 
A9                     E 
My mailbox is full of bombs 
A9                   E           B 
Between you and the kooks on my block 
C#m                  G#m 
I don't remember the good times 
A9                           E 
I wasn't there and you were kind 
A9                    E       B 
And my wife has some dogs in our yard 

A9                   E           B           C#m 
And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl 
A9                      E 
We were strangers many hours 
   B 
And I missed you for so long 
           C#m                 B 
When we were lions, lovers in combat 
       A9                                   E    B 
Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned 

E B But I am older now C#m A9 And we did it when we were young E B I am older now C#m A9 And we did it when we were young
C#m G#m There are no reasons to believe A9 E I buried my faith on the block A9 E With your heart and your clothes B When I find C#m G#m I don't feel you or recall A9 E I'll put your bones out in the yard A9 E B Someone else to be called and called by A9 E B C#m And I cannot hold a candle for every pretty girl A9 E We were strangers many hours B And I missed you for so long C#m B When we were lions, lovers in combat A9 E B Faded like your name on those jeans that I burned
E B But I am older now C#m A9 And we did it when we were young E B I am older now C#m A9 And we did it when we were young
