Letters - Branches

G                  C                GI went through old letters that you wrote me 
    C             G            DAnd followed your words to the bottom of the page 
   G                            C        GTo find all the things that you tried to show me 
C      G          D             GMonths ago at the bottom of the page 

G                  C      GAll the words that I once knew 
      C          G            C          GOh, I    gave to you, yes I      gave to you 
                            C       G                 And all of the words that I want to know 
     C        G      C           GHave dried up in the back of my throat 

G            C         GI set sail across your words 
       C             G       C              GHoping never to find shore, never to find shore 
                            C         GAnd in the ocean of ink, I started to sink 
  C          G               D                GBefore your words filled my lungs with breath again 

G                           C            G There in the light of the evening city sky 
      C          G             DThe yellows and pinks tell my heart to think 
       G                 C             GAnd my mind to feel this love that is real 
       C           G             D            GAnd to let my lips say at last everything you mean 
     G                    C                GSo I whisper slow, three words you already know 
         C       G              DAnd the marching band falls in line  
         C        D                  GAnd the symphony leads your lips to mine!
