I used [Cm] to write, I used to [Eb] write letters, [Ab] I used to sign [Eb] my name.
I [Cm] used to sleep at night for the [Eb] flashing lights [Ab] that were deep in my [Eb] brain.
By the [Cm] time we met, by the [Eb] time we met, [Ab] the times had [Eb] already changed.
[Cm]
[Ab] [Eb] So I never [Cm] wrote a letter, never took my true [Ab] heart, I never wrote [Eb] it down.
