[Cm]
I used to write, I used to [Eb] write letters, I [Ab] used to sell [Eb] my name.
I used to [Cm] sleep at night for the [Eb] flashing lights [Ab] that'll deepen the rain.
By the time [Cm] we met, by the time we met, the [Ab] times had [Eb] already changed.
[Cm]
[Bb] [Ab] [Eb]
So I never [Cm] wrote a letter, I never [Eb] did my true [Ab] heart, I never wrote [Eb] it down.
So when the lights [Cm] cut out, I was [Eb] lost standing [Ab] in the wilderness [Eb] downtown.
[F] Now our [Cm] lives are changing fast, [F] now [Cm] our lives are changing fast.
[Bb] I hope that [Gm] something pure [F] can last, I [Bb] hope that [Gm] something pure [Cm] can last.
Do they seem strange?
How [Bb] we used to [Ab] wait for letters [Eb] to arrive.
But what's [Cm] stranger still, is how [Eb] some things are [Ab] small and keep [Eb] you alive.
We [Cm] used to wait, we used [Eb] to wait [Ab] spouse just walking [Eb] around.
We [Cm] used to wait, all these [Eb] wasted [Ab] lives in the wilderness [Eb]
downtown.
[Eb]
[Cm]
[Eb] Used [Cm] to wait, [Eb] used [Ab] to wait, [Eb] [Cm] used to wait.
Sometimes they [Eb] never came, [Cm]
sometimes they [Eb] never came. Please.
[Ab]
[Eb] Still moving through the day.
[Cm] I'm gonna write a letter to [Eb] my true love, [Ab] I'm gonna sign [Eb] my name.
Like a patient on [Cm] the table, I wanna walk again, [Ab] gonna move [Eb] another day.
[F] Now our lives [Eb] are changing [Cm] fast, [D] [F] now our lives [Eb] are changing [Cm] fast.
[Dm] I [Bb] hope that something [Gm] pure can [F] last, [Bb] I hope that something [Gm] pure can [Cm] last.
[Eb] Used to [Cm] wait, [Eb] used to [Ab] wait, [Bb] [Eb] used to [Cm] wait.
Sometimes they [Eb] never came,
[Cm] sometimes they [Eb] never came.
[Ab] Still [Eb] moving through the day, we used to [Cm] wait, [Eb] used to [Cm] wait, used to [Ab] wait.
[Bb] [Eb]
[Cm] [Eb]
[Cm] [Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
[Fm] [Cm] We used [Eb] to wait for [Cm] it, we used [Eb] to wait [Ab] for it, now [Eb] it's freezing [Fm] the crazy.
We [Eb] used to wait [Cm] for it, we [Eb] used to wait for it, now it's freezing [Cm] the crazy.
I [Eb] used to wait for it, I used to wait [Ab] for it, [Eb] now it's freezing the crazy.
