Capo 3

Intro: A5

         A5
I used to write
                C5       F5               C5
I used to write letters I used to sign my name
          A5
I used to sleep at night
                    C5            F5          C5
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain

                   A5
But by the time we met
               C5     F5                 C5
By the time we met the times had already changed

A5 C5 F5 C5

                   A5
So I never wrote a letter
                C5          F5              C5
I never took my true heart I never wrote it down
                       A5
So when the lights cut out
           C5             F5          C5
I was lost standing in the wilderness downtown

Bridge:
D5                C5        A5
Now our lives are changing fast
D5                C5        A5
Now our lives are changing fast
G5                   E5       D5
Hope that something pure can last
G5                   E5       D5
Hope that something pure can last

       A5
But it seems strange
               C5      F5           C5
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
                    A5
But what's stranger still
                    C5       F5         C5
Is how something so small can keep you alive
           A5
We used to wait
                 C5        F5        C5
We used to waste hours just walking around
                A5
We used to wait
                 C5          F5          C5
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown


Chorus:
A5  C5      C5     A5
    Ooh we used to wait
    C5      C5     F5
    Ooh we used to wait
G5   C5      C5     A5
    Ooh we used to wait (Sometimes it never came)
    C5      C5     A5
    Ooh we used to wait (Sometimes it never came)
    C5      C5     F5           G5                  C5
    Ooh we used to wait (Still moving through the pain)

    Ooh

          A5
I'm gonna write 
                 C5         F5             C5
A letter to my true love I'm gonna sign my name
                    A5
Like a patient on a table
              C5        F5                C5
I wanna walk again gonna move through the pain

Bridge:
D5                C5        A5
Now our lives are changing fast
D5                C5        A5
Now our lives are changing fast
G5                   E5       D5
Hope that something pure can last
G5                   E5       A5
Hope that something pure can last


Chorus

              A5    C5

              A5    C5
   we used to wait
              F5    G5  C5

A5 C5 A5 C5 F5 C5 D5 A5

A5           C5           A5            C5
  We used to wait for it,   We used to wait for it
F5           C5                    D5      A5
  Now we're screaming,  sing the chorus again
A5           C5           A5            C5
  We used to wait for it,   We used to wait for it
F5           C5                    D5      A5
  Now we're screaming,  sing the chorus againn
A5        C5            A5            C5
I used to wait for it,     I used to wait for it
F5               C5                   D5      A5
  Hear my voice screaming, sing the chorus again


A5 C5 A5 C5 F5 C5 D5              A5
                 Wait for it
