[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I used to [Am]write
I used to write [C]letters
I [F]used to sign my [C]name
I used [Am]to sleep at night
Before the flashing [C]lights settled
[F]deep in [C]my brain
But by the time we [Am]met
By the time we [C]met
The [F]times had already

[Interlude 1]
changed
[C][Am][C][F]
[C]

[Verse 2]
So [C]I never wrote [Am]a letter
I never took my [C]true heart
I [F]never wrote it [C]down
So when the lights cut [Am]out
I was lost [C]standing in the wil
[F]derness [C]downtown

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Now our lives are [C]changing f[Am]ast
[Dm]Now our lives [C]are changing f[Am]ast
[G]Hope that something [Em]pure can [Dm]last
[G]Hope that something [Em]pure can last
[Am]

[Verse 4]
It seems strange
How we used to [G]wait for [F]letters to arrive
[C]But what's stranger sti[Am]ll
Is how something so [C]small
can [F]keep you alive
[C]We used to [Am]wait
We used to waste [C]hours
just [F]walkin' around
[C]We used to [Am]wait
All those wasted [C]lives in the [F]wilderness

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 5]
Oh, we used to [Am]wait
[C]Oh, we used to [F]wait[G]
[C]Oh, we used to [Am]wait
Sometimes it never [C]came (we used
[Am]to wait)
Sometimes it never [C]came
[F](we used to wait)
Still moving through [G]the pain
[C]

[Verse 6]
I'm gonna [Am]write
a letter to my [C]true love
I'm [F]gonna sign my [C]name
Like a patient on a [Am]table
I wanna walk [C]again
Gonna [F]move [C]thr[Dm]ough
the pain
Now our lives are [C]changing fast

[Verse 7]

[Dm]Now our lives are [C]changing f[Am]ast

[G]Hope that something [Em]pure can [Am]last

[C]Oh, we used to [Am]wait
[C]Oh, we used to [F]wait[G]
[C]Oh, we used to [Am]wait
Sometimes it never [C]came
(we used [Am]to wait)

We used to [Am]wait[C]
We used to [Am]wait[C]
