[Intro 1]
[C][Dm][C][Dm]

[Verse 1]
There [C]was something
in the envelope she [Dm]passed him
That weighed [C]more to him than
paper and some [Dm]ink
It had a [C]hint of something darker
and a [Dm]hint of something sweet
And a [C]little extra glue right on the [Dm]tip
There was [C]something in the pain
that shot right [Dm]through him
As he [C]climbed up to the place
he called his [Dm]home
They say [C]every man's house
should be his [Dm]palace
But his [C]castle stank of cat shit and [Dm]alone

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
So he [Em]opened it and [F]found a faded [Dm]picture
Of a [Em]girl he's never met,
[F]but somehow see[Dm]n
Like [Em]a memory of a [F]dream
from early [Dm]childhood
Like [Em]a virgin's [F]idea of re[Dm]lease

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
She said [C]"I can bend my arms
until they're [Dm]backward
But [C]you can't bend your
will to take in [Dm]mine
And [C]I could hold my breath
until next [Dm]Wednesday
And still be doing [Em]fine"
[F][G][Dm][Em]

[Verse 4]
[F][G]
[Dm]He was s[C]ad in ways he
couldn't [Dm]tell her
Though she [C]could make his
sadness all her [Dm]own
He [C]couldn't see the use
in spreading [Dm]sad ness
So he [C]took his dark depression
and went [Dm]home
She saw [C]things in him he never bar[Dm]gained
But it wasn't [C]enough to save
either one of [Dm]them
Be[C]cause she took that
sadness one step [Dm]further
And [C]left him all alone to face the end
