E5    C5    D5    B5
Dear Jack, I'll write you as a friend
E5   C5       D5  B5
Dear Friend, I write I fear the
E5              C5  
end is coming soon
     D5            B5
To you it's not so clear
               E5    C5
It's clear to me
            D5    B5
It's clear as glass
E5   C5     D5  B5
Dear Jack (x2)
E5    C5    D5 B5 
Dear Hope, attach it to the 
E5            C5  D5   B5
end of your rope. A rope that wove 
E5                 C5         D5            B5
ambition in with sorrow, distancing tommorow, 
E5    C5                 D5     B5
tomorrows come and past
E5   C5    D5   B5
Dear Jack (x2)

C5              G5   
You were the fighter
D5           A5                 C5
I was the kid against the world
  G5               D5                 A5
I heard theres nothing gonna hold you down
C5           G5      D5             A5              C5
I'll use a lighter so you can see what isn't there
                  G5
We'll swing at air
D5              A5                   E5    C5 D5 
Swinging off eventually you're bound
B5             E5 C5 D5 B5
Bound to the ground

E5   C5    D5

G5         D5
I, I had songs for you
       A5
I had all your music written out
      C5
The words came when I heard you screaming
G5                D5
I, I, I, I had plans for you
           A5
Until the plans fell through
              C5
Now there is no turning back
