Letter From My Lonelier Self

[Em]

[Em]This is a [G]letter from my [D]lonelier [G]self
to the o[Em]ne that's in [G]love once [D]again.   [Em]
I couldn't [G]find you so I [D]thought that I would
[G]tell you a [Em]few things with my f[G]avorite blue [D]pen.

[C]This year's been a [G]hard one.
Yeah, I've [D]made so many [Em]big mist[C]akes.
I lost the [G]heart that I'd been[B] give[Em]n.

So, [C]when it's love don't [Cm]wait to say what it [G]is.
[B]mm[E]m.[A]
[C]When it's love don't [Cm]wait to say what it i[G]s.

After the fire is when the neighbor's all come out
their sadness dripping with relief it wasn't them.
And all your thoughts turn solid cause you've lost everything else
and you need a place to lay your head.

In the vacant silence of a lost Manhattan boulevard
you'll hear the answers if you listen.

When it's love don't wait to say what it is.
mmm
When it's love don't wait to say what it is.
mmmm

I see couples kissing with their arms and fingers locked so tight
I hope they say the words we didn't.

When it's love don't wait to say what it is.
mmmm
And don't trade love for an aimless embrace of the wind.
mmmm
Please don't lose your love the way that I did.

This is a letter from my lonelier self
to the one that's in love once again.
