E           Am           E            Am
Dear little devil, how's tricks these days?
E         Am           E             Am
I didn't write, didn't know what to say
 C            G            C             E
Do you still sleep with the sun in your face?
 E              Am            E         Am
Sheets wet from fever dreams force you awake


[Verse 2]
E             Am          E          Am
Dear little colonel, one foot in the grave
E            Am           E        Am
Fighting the war with an unsteady aim
C            G       C              E
Is that the goal, to create your crusade
       E          Am        E           Am
With nothing for no one, so no one is saved
   Am
Or safe?


[Chorus]
F                G
You never really say you will
Am
But never say you won't
 F                    G
The world must be a funny place
 Am              C
When you can't let go
     F               G                 C           Am
You can't ask for forgiveness if you think you must atone
      E          Am
For what you know


[Verse 3]
E             Am       E            Am
Dear little valentine, how is your nose?
E            Am          E           Am
Keeping it clean? I sure doubt, but I hope
C            G             C            E
How is your head, mister? How are your toes?
E             Am           E             Am
Do you still miss me when nights get too cold?


[Chorus]
F               G
You never really say you do
Am
But never say you don't
F                     G
The world must be an awful place
Am                 C
When you can't let go
     F                    G              C                  Am
You can't see what you're made of if you think you're made of stone
    E        Am
And all alone


F                   G
And every time you say you will
Am
You prove to me you won't
F                      G
Your world was such a lovely place
Am              C
Still, I can't let go
   F                     G                 Am             C
I can't see what you're made of when you think you must atone
    E            Am
For what you know
     E      Am
And what you don't
