Dead Letter

Dm        Dm        Dm        Dm

     Dm                       C
Dead letter, dead letter of immaculate attention,
     Dm                    C                 Dm
it's written in blood that flows through the pen tip.
     Dm                      C
Dead letter, dead letter, failed to deliver,
    Dm         C                Dm
the message of love I wanted to give her.

    Dm                        C           Dm
She sent a dead letter to the book on the shelf;
      Dm                      C              Dm
she revealed some secrets she didn't want to tell.
    Dm                       C
she died on the day that her baby was born
        Dm          C                           Dm
and the dead letter rests and the healings were torn.

     Dm                    C                   C
Dead letter, dead letter addressed straight to hell,
     Dm                       C             Dm
it's written to someone; it's written quite well.
     Dm                       C
Dead letter, dead letter will never be read,
     Dm          C                  Dm
I'll write you a letter as long its dead.

          F                    C
There was no response and they thought they had lost him,
F                     C
drugging and drinking cough syrup.
          F                          C
When they cought up with him he just sat on the floor
     Dm           C                        Dm
in a pile of dead letters he just couldn't finish.

     Dm                  C            Dm
Dead letter, dead letter addressed to you,
   Dm                     C                Dm
it says that I'm sorry; explains the whole truth.
  Dm               C
I said it you, oh, so long ago,
  Dm               C                     Dm
I thought that you got it, I just didn't know.
