Intro:  G

Em           Am          C             G
Just write a letter and mail it to yourself

Em           Am          C        D
Read it out loud but to no one else

Em           Am          C        G
Pick your pocket, a measure of time

Em         Am      C           D
Never leave those memories behind

CHORUS
          G           D
And you'll sing till tomorrow

        Em            C
and the days that will follow

        G             D
but it's never the same

        Am            C
when you feel you're insane

(G D Em C)
On the bed where you lay, there's a plan that was made

(G D Am C)                                    G
but it's never the same when your hopes go astray

G-Am-C-D

(Em Am C G)
 Just write a memo and hang it on your wall

(Em Am C D)
 Small reminder of why we're here at all

(Em Am C G)
 So look around and groove to the sound

(Em Am C D)
 Let's see those feet rise up from the ground

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE

 Bm      C        D       G
 Now the princess washes dishes

 Em             Am         C   D
 she's done more harm than any good

(Bm C D G)
 I am the witness of hugs and kisses

(Em Am C D)
 loneliness is never understood

(G D Em C)
la la la la la.....

(Em Am C G)
So paint a picture of things that are real

(Em Am C D)
Remember shame when it's time to kneel

(Em Am C G)
and don't forget the things that you say

(Em Am C D)
could all come back to you some other day

(CHORUS) x 2
