[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][Am][F][C][G][Am][F][C][Am][F]
[C][G][Am]
Now [F]coming down

[Verse 1]
[C]
out of [G]this [Am]swan [F]dive to [C]your [Am]arms
I [F]make no [C]sounds when I move
[Am]through your[F] reservoirs.
[C]But[G] I [Am]wake up quick, and[F] I wak[Am]e up sick as[F]
[Am]you [F]abandon [C]me i[Dm]nto these [F]fields of [G]rank and f[Am]ile.
Through this [G]cloud I [F]hear
you breath[C]ing.
[Am]Through these [G]bars I [F]watch them
[C]bring [Dm]more [Esus4]in.
[Em]Now I send

[Verse 2]
[C]back letters
[Em]from the wasteland [F]home.
I [C]slow dance to this ro[Em]mance on my [F]own.
It may be [Dm]two to tango but,
[Em]boy, it's one to [G]let go.
It's just one to let [Am]go.
[F][C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
Now, [F]boy, keep [C]still [G]don[C]'t spr[Am]ead
[F]yourself [C]aro[G]und[C].[Am]
Get [F]back [C]in line, [G]eat your bread,
[Am]and just work [F]the [C]plow.[G][Am]
'cause you're not [F]through
[Am]they're not done with with you.[F]
Did [Am]you [F]think you [C]were the o[Dm]nly
[F]one that's [G]been let [Am]down?
So sleep [G]tight,
little [F]boys of [C]the new [Am]damned.
Another [G]drop in the tid[F]al wave
of [C]quicksand.
[Dm]

[Verse 4]
[Esus4]
[Em]Now [C]I send back letters
[Em]from the wasteland [F]home.
I [C]slow dance to this ro[Em]mance on my [F]own.
It may be two [Dm]to tango but, bo[Em]y,
it's one to [G]let go.
It's just one to let go.

[Verse 5]
Now an[F]other [C]bad [Dm]idea gets [C]through
[F]down the assembly [Dm]line to you.
[G]You're eve[Am]ry bri[Dm]dge I sho[Eb]uld
[Dm]have burne[Am]d,[G]
[Am]every les[Dm]son I've un[Am]learned,
in this [G]smoke filled [F]wait[C]ing room
with in[Am]carcer[G]ated [F]lovesick fools
[C]I wai[Dm]t for you to [Em]cut me [Esus4]loose.
But till [Em]then I send

[Verse 6]
[C]back letters
[Em]from the wasteland [F]home.
Last [C]slow dance to this
[Em]romance on my own.
[F]It may take two to tango but,
[C]boy, it's one to let go.
[Em]From the wasteland [F]home [C]I slow dance to this ro[Em]mance on my own.
