I’m writing you to
Cadd9             B7             Em7
Catch you up on places I’ve been
Em7              G7
You held this letter
Cadd9          B7                   Em7
Probably got excited, but there’s nothing else inside it

Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes

And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
Em7
Are next to mountains anyway

Didn’t have a camera by my side this time
               C    G    D    C     F#
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes

Maybe I will tell you all about it when i’m
Em              D
In the mood to lose my way with words


      G          G13          Am7               Cm6(M7)
You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
     G          G13     Am7   Cm6(M7)
It brought me back to life
  G         G13          Am7       Cm6(M7)
You’ll be with me next time I go outside
G         G13       Am7    Cm6(M7)
Just no more 3x5’s


Repeat Intro

C     G  D    C     F#
Today I finally overcame
                     C   G   D C     F#
Tryin’ to fit the world inside a picture frame
               C   G    D  C   F#           Em
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I’m in the mood to
D
Lose my way but let me say
