4/4 

      Em      D         G
Oh time, sticks to me
         Am     G      C
and it tears from my skin
           Em   D       G
So that I, can't remember
              Am     G   C
just how long it has been.

(bass and drums come in here)
                Em           D            G
Whoa but in my mind I can see you
          Am    G         C
and I think of you so kind
         Em   D        G    
and I know it was my fault
         Am     G    C
that I fell so far behind.

--CHORUS--
       G                  F                     Am
So God take this prayer I send to you
         C
and I hope it finds you well
G        F                   Am                       C
as for me, well I'm allright as far as I can tell
                         (Em--D--G)--1st time only
as far as I can tell
                         (Am--G--C)
with my unwritten letters (1st time only this last line)

2nd verse:  (bass and drums drop out)
        Em         D       G
Oh I stopped writing letters
      Am       G      C
for fear of what you would say
          Em       D        G
and I know it's not forgiveness
         Am      G     C
if it's only for one day.

(bass and drums come in again)
               Em                      D     G
Turn the lights down please so I can sleep
           Am          G    C
on my pillow wet with tears
               Em    D        G
while the clock on the mantle 
                 Am       G         C
is pushing forward with my tears.  

(Chorus 2x and once instrumental, fade out)
