Verse:
C G
I wrote a letter on a nothing day
C G
I asked somebody "Could you send my letter away?"
C G C G
"You are too young to put all of your hopes in just one envelope"
I said goodbye to someone that I love
It's not just me, I tell you it's the both of us
And it was hard like coming off the pills that you take to stay happy
Someone above has seen me do alright
Someone above is looking with a tender eye
Upon her face, you may think you're alone but you may think again
(Chorus)
C G
If I could do just one near perfect thing I'd be happy
C G
They'd write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
Am C
On second thoughts I'd rather hang about and be there with my best
friend
(intro riff)
If she wants me
And far away somebody read the letter
He condescends to read the words I wrote about him
And if he smiles, it's no more than a genius deserves
For all your curious nerve and your passion
I'm going deaf, you're growing melancholy
Things fall apart, I don't know why we bother at all
But life is good and "It's always worth living at least for a while"
(Chorus)
If you think to yourself "What should I do now?"
Then take the baton, girl, you better run with it
There is no point in standing in the past cause it's over and done with
I took a book and went into the forest
I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you
But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness so I went home

{c:Verse}
I wrote a [G]letter on a nothing [D]day
I asked some[G]body "Could you send my [D]letter away?"
"You are too [G]young to put all of your [D]hopes in just [G]one envelope"[D]
I said good[G]bye to someone that I [D]love
It's not just [G]me, I tell you it's the [D]both of us
And it was [G]hard like coming off the [D]pills that you [G]take to stay [D]happy
Someone a[G]bove has seen me do al[D]right
Someone a[G]bove is looking with a [D]tender eye
Upon her [G]face, you may think you're a[D]lone but you [G]may think a[D]gain
{C:Chorus}
If I could do just [G]one near perfect thing I'd be [D]happy
They'd write it on my [G]grave, or when they scattered my [D]ashes
On second thoughts I'd [Em]rather hang about and be [G]there with my best
friend if she [D]wants me
{C:Verse}
And far a[G]way somebody read the [D]letter
He conde[G]scends to read the words I [D]wrote about him
And if he [G]smiles, it's no more than a [D]genius [G]deserves
For all your [D]curious [G]nerve and your [D]passion
I'm going [G]deaf, you're growing melan[D]choly
Things fall a[G]part, I don't know why we [D]bother at all
But life is [G]good and "It's always worth [D]living at [G]least for a [D]while"
