This is the story of a scarlet letter...

[Intro] G C Em D

[Verse 1]
G
It just hit me as I lay my head down 
C
No one around in the dark cold night I hear a sound
Em
In my head, repeat track of everything you've ever said
D
Must be something, but it's nothing, so I just go back to bed
G
It's four, crack the door to the hallway in my dreams
C
But it seems that my hallway keeps closing in on me
Em
Forcing me out, making me think about you and how you're gone
D
I see four-o-five with teary eyes and then I write this song

[Chorus]
G
And I just can't believe it has to be this way
C
You know we say it seems to me that it was just the other day
Em
I saw your face and saw your light, you ran the race you fought the fight
D
But now It's just being torn down for me tonight
G
And I know it might be a little selfish for me to say
C
But I need to know if you thought of me at all today
Em
'Cause every day I walk past the place you left five days of the week
D
And now it's ten after four, and I am Taken By Sleep

[Verse 2]
G
Spending hours on end, deciding on what 
C
I'd say to a friend if I ever saw him again
Em            
'Cause I don't know if I know, don't wanna come across the wrong way
D
And I don't know if I know, but I know I want to see your face today
G
Somebody told me that they saw you cry and break down
C
Do you know how hard that is to get around and think about?
Em
It's not like you to let emotions get the best of things
D
Especially when everything is hanging in the air we breathe

[Chorus]
G
And I just can't believe it has to be this way
C
You know we say it seems to me that it was just the other day
Em
I saw your face and saw your light, you ran the race you fought the fight
D
But now It's just being torn down for me tonight
G
And I know it might be a little selfish for me to say
C
But I need to know if you thought of me at all today
Em
'Cause every day I walk past the place you left five days of the week
D
And now it's ten after four, and I am Taken By Sleep

[Bridge]
G                C
And I'll sing a song to you my friend
Em           D
I'll sing a song to you my friend
G            C
I'll sing a song to you my friend
Em           D      
I'll sing a song to you my... LET'S GO!
G    C    Em   D
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
G                C
And I'll sing a song to you my friend
Em           D
I'll sing a song to you my friend

[Outro]
G C Em D
