Intro
Verse 1
It's been over thirty
days
I've
not received your
letter
My f
ingernails are
chewed down to the
bone
So many different
ways
I've
had to say I'm
sorry
While I'm
left here in this
eight by ten
alone
Pre-chorus 1
It's not the four walls movin' in that
tortures me
It's not the cold cement or shivers
down my spine
It's just the visions in my
head that
make me
paranoid
And wonder if I get
out will you be
mine
Instrumental Interlude
Verse 2
I never should have
treated you
so
bad my love I'm
sorry
I'm
broken, now I can
see that now it's
true
My
picket fence is
turning razor
wire
And now I'm
awaiting trial
Things you have to
know I did not
do
Pre-chorus 2
If I could get a word with you I'd
be just fine
Or any envelope with both your
name and mine
We'd be enough to keep me
going
In a
world where I'm left
knowing that
There's
something more to live
for just
outside
Chorus
Seems like the last time,
feels like the first
Though I've had
bad days,
this has to be my
worst
I'm left thinking of you
dear,
while I'm waiting
here
Solo
Improv on E
Verse 3
I haven't seen the
sun
Since it
rested on your
shoulder
While we
walked along that
vacant river
side
They carried me
away
To a
place where I get
older
If I
cannot prove to
them you never
died
Chorus 2
Seems like the last time,
feels like the first
Though I've had
bad days,
this has to be my
worst
I'm left thinking of you
dear,
while I'm waiting
here
[Instrument Interlude]
Guitar solo
Chorus 3
Seems like the last time,
feels like the first
Though I've had
bad days,
this has to be my
worst
I'm left thinking of you
dear,
while I'm waiting
here
Instrumental to end
