The Letter

INTRO:  Db5     Gbsus2 x2


Db5     Gbsus2                  Db5   Gbsus2
Words…  Being put onto paper
                        Bbm      Ab
The things I couldn’t say
                                Gbsus2     Ab7/Gb   Gbsus2
Because your lips got in the way


Db5     Gbsus2                        Db5    Gbsus2
Hands…  Writing words on the paper
                               Bbm     Ab
Where they now hold a pen
                                Gbsus2    Ab7/Gb    Gbsus2
Held you up and down again


   Bbm                          Gbsus2
(He) I may have spoke too soon
                Ebm7                    Gbsus2    Ab7/Gb    Gbsus2
(She) But, God, I hope I haven’t written too late


Db                              Dbmaj7
I hope you haven’t moved on yet
                               Db7
That you know what I regret
                                Gbsus2
That you understand that all this time,
Bbm                             Bbm(maj7)
I’ve been praying that you’ll find
                             Bbm7
And believe the truth behind
                             Gbsus2     Ab7/Gb
The words that say it better
Gbsus2                 Bbm     Ab/C   Db5   Db/F   Gbsus2   Ab7/Gb   Gbsus2
That’s why I wrote this letter


Db5   Gbsus2                                 Db5   Gbsus2
Lost…           Can’t get to where I’m going
                                Bbm     Ab
I’ve never dealt with this before
                                        Gbsus2     Ab7/Gb    Gbsus2
Cause without you, I search no more


Db5       Gbsus2    Db5
Speak… Please speak
Fm/C                   Bbm       Gbsus2
I know I hear you call


                                Db5             Gbsus2
Your words cut like the sharpest knife
                           Ebm7         Gbsus2
They bury me and give me life


Bbm                     Gbsus2
I know I spoke too soon
Bbm                                           Gbsus2
But you always said it’s never too late


Db                              Dbmaj7
I hope you haven’t moved on yet
                               Db7

Bbm                             Bbm(maj7)
I’ve been praying that you’ll find
                             Bbm7
And believe the truth behind
                                Gbsus2
The words that say it better
