Em
[Verse 1]
Em G D G
This is a letter from my lonelier self
Em G D Em
to the one that's in love once again.
G D
I couldn't find you so I thought that I would
G Em G D
tell you a few things with my favorite blue pen.
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
This year's been a hard one.
D Em C
Yeah, I've made so many big mistakes.
G B Em
I lost the heart that I'd been given.
[Chorus]
C Cm G
So, when it's love don't wait to say what it is.
B E A
Mmm.
C Cm G
When it's love don't wait to say what it is.
[Verse 2]
Em G D G
After the fire is when the neighbors all come out
Em G D Em
their sadness dripping with relief it wasn't them.
G D
And all your thoughts turn solid cause you've lost everything else
G Em G D
and you need a place to lay your head.
[Pre-Chorus]
C G D Em
In the vacant silence of a lost Manhattan boulevard
G B Em
you'll hear the answers if you listen.
[Chorus]
C Cm G
So, when it's love don't wait to say what it is.
B E A
Mmm.
C Cm G
When it's love don't wait to say what it is.
[Pre-Chorus]
C G D Em
I see couples kissing with their arms and fingers locked so tight
G B Em
I hope they say the words we didn't.
[Chorus]
C Cm G
So, when it's love don't wait to say what it is.
B E A
Mmm.
C Cm G
And don't trade love for an aimless embrace of the wind.
B E A
Mmm.
C Cm G
Please don't lose your love the way that I did.
[Coda]
Em G D G
This is a letter from my lonelier self
Em G D Em
to the one that's in love once again.
