Bm A G D
Now coming down out of this swandive to your arms

I make no sound as I move through your reservoirs
Bm
I wake up quick and I wake up sick as you
Bm A G A D
Abandon me into these fields of rank and file
Bm A G D
Through this crowd I hear you breathing

Through these bars I watch them bring more in

D F#m G
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home

It may be two to tango, but boy, it's one to let go
Bm A G D
It's just one to let go

Bm A G D
Now boy keep still, don't spread yourself around
Bm A G D
Get back in line, eat your bread and just work the plow
Bm
'Cause you're not through, we're not done with you, did you
Bm A G A D
think you were the only one who's been let down?
Bm A G D
Sleep tight little boys of the new damned
Bm A G D Em F#
Another drop in the tidal wave of quicksand
Chorus:

Now I send back letters from the wasteland home

It may take two to tango, but boy, it's one to let go

Down the assembly line to you

You're every bride I should have burned
Bm
Every lesson I've unleared

Now in this smoke filled waiting room with
Bm A G D
Incarcerated lovesick fools I will

Wait for you to cut me loose
But till then

I send back letters from the waseland home
