[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][A][Bm][G][A]
[D]

[Verse 1]
It's been [D]over
30 days I've not received your [G]letter
My fin[Bb]ger [C]nails are chewed
down to [D]the bone
So many different [A]ways [D]I've
[C]tried to say I'm [G]sorry
While I'm [Bb]left here [C]in this 8 by [D]10 alone

[Verse 2]
It's [G]not the four walls moving
in that [D]tortures me
It's [G]not the cold cement
or shivers [A]down my spine
It's just them [D]visions in my [A]head
[D]that make me paranoid
[G]And wonder if [Bb]when I get out w[C]ill you be
[D]mine

[A][C][G][Bb][C][D]

[Verse 3]
I [D]never should have [A]treated [D]you so
[C]bad my love I'm [G]sorry
I'm [Bb]broken [C]I can see that now it's t[D]rue
My picket fence has [A]turned to razor [C]wire
and now I'm [G]awaiting trial
[Bb]For things you have [C]to know I did not [D]do
[G]If

[Verse 4]
I could get a word with
[D]you I'd be just fine
Or [G]any envelope with both
your [A]name and mine
Would be [D]enough to keep me go[A]ing
In a [D]world where I'm left
[G]knowing that
There's [Bb]something more
to live [C]for just out[D]side

[Verse 5]
[G]Seems like the last time, [A]Feels like the first
[D]Though I've had bad[A] days this
[G]has to be [D]my [G]worst
I'm left thinking of you [A]dear
[C]While I'm waiting here

[Verse 6]
I [D]haven't seen [A]the sun [D]since
it rested on your shoulder
[G]While we walked alo[C]ng that
vacant river[D]side
They carried me [A]away to a
[C]place where [D]I'll get [G]older
If [Bb]I cannot prove [C]to them
you never [D]died

[Verse 7]
[G]Seems like the last time, [A]Feels like the first
[D]Though I've had bad[A] days this
[G]has to be [D]my [G]worst
I'm left thinking of you [A]dear
[C]While I'm waiting here

this [G]has to be my [D]worst[G]
I'm left thinking of you [A]dear
[C]While I'm waiting here
