[Intro 1]
[Am]
These [F]old

[Verse 1]
[Em][Am][Em]
[Am]
letters from years ago
[F]I felt it w[Em]as leading
to a continued
When [Am]I wrote

[Verse 2]
this letter I felt
I may have been finally able
to address how it feels

[Verse 3]
Another [Am]brick-red room,
room, another black-top town
town
Another misspelled band burning their own
[F]houses down
Another pine-box tune tune
to fill [Am]the cemetery day
[Em]Another star,
a [Am]touch [Em]of orange over purgato[G]ry gray
[Am]Another

[Verse 4]
thorny field to scatter
fruitless seed
Another song that runs too long,
God knows no one needs
[F]More misguided gho[Am]sts,
[F]more tra[Am]nsparent han[Em]ds
To drop a nickel in [Am]our bask[Em]et and
we'll do [Am]our riot dance

[Verse 5]
Beneath another [Am]burning sky,
behind our painted lips
In scares of catatonic smile-covered
ankle-bitten ships
ships
[F]ships
So throw your pedestal of
stone in the forgetful sea
As [Em]protection from the paper-thin perfection
[Am]perfecti[Em]on you proje[C]ct on me
[Am]When

[Verse 6]
this repetition ends behind
the window shades
A semi-conscious sorrow sorrow
sleeping in the bed I've made
[F]That most unrestful bed,
that most original [Dm]of si[Em]ns
And you'll say that's what I get
when I let ambitions win again
[Am]I'd

[Verse 7]
hate to let you down
so I'll let the waters rise
And drown my dull reflection in the
naive expectation in your eyes
[F]Back in a cast bit-part,
back back when I felt most free
[Em]I had a butcher's heart and no
one thought they knew me
So [Am]before the

[Verse 8]
regiment resumes,
before the dreaded sun appears
My driver's waiting,
so let's [Dm]make one point crys[F]tal clear:
You see a flood-lit form, form,
I see a shirt [Em]design
I'm no savior of yours and you're
no friend of mine
You're no [C]friend[Am]

[Verse 9]
of mine
You're no friend of mine
I'm no savior of yours and
you're no friend of mine
You [F]see a flood-lit form
form
I see a shirt design
[Em]I'm no savior of yours and
you're no friend of mine
I [Am]see

[Verse 10]
myself in the reflection
of people's eyes
Realising what they see may [F]not [Am]be
even close to the image I see in myself
And I hate I might actually be more
afraid to let myself down
I feel like they know the story
I saw a bear floating in the river
and thought it was a fur coat
Twelve years ago I [F]stood on the [Am]shore
Jump in and grab the coat
And the river is rushing toward a waterfall
And my friend [F]stood at the shore and [Am]shouted
to let go of [F]the coat and swim back to land
I let go of the coat but the coat
won't let go of me
In any case please let me know if
there's more I can give you
If nothing comes of it,
then just know we are grateful
