Verse 1
G
After all of this time,
D
they're still tucked away
C
D
G
At the bottom of my dresser drawer
C
I pull them out every now and then
G
To consign to the flames
C
D
G
And I hide them away once more
C
For your words they still
C
With a passion that hasn't yet
G
D
mellowed with age
C
D
G
And I find I still can't close the door
D
G
Em
Chains of letters

You once owned them
C

But they're no longer yours

They came to me so long ago

I'm amazed how these minutes crawl by
G
D
And the years have flown past
in the wink of an eye
C
D
G
And I can't call them back again
D
G
But like the thwack of a ball
C
that's hit hard by a bat
G
D
I just see your scroll and I'm shot right back to
C
D
G
D

the time when you called me your friend

I know I should do what you've done
G
Burn all tangible traces
C
D
G
And I will just as soon as I'm home
C
Cause to tell you the truth I'm mystified
G
Why each cross of your T's
D
and each dot of your I's
C
D
G
Seems like such a treasure to own
D
C
G
It's just plain lined paper twice folded
G
D
hoarded like gold
C
D
G
It's ephemera and a damn millstone
Em
G
D
Chains of letters, they're only words
G

You want something,
C

but they're no longer used
G
