                               D/E
so many tears i'm shaking out
          A/E                   B7
squeezing them out and bend it


the way things work together
D/E
if i write this letter
        A/E
you can bend it


B7
please hope
      D/E
can i give hope

the sky won't fall?
     A/E    B7
just look


if i mail this letter
        D/E
you can send it back to me
   A/E
if you can dance

if you can live
    B7
i love you

i love you
i love you

                           D/E
knocked me on the head and sent me spinning
         A/E
it was a blast
                                B7
i can't remember the last time


                            D/E
stand between two poles and hold your arms up
             A/E                             B7
i'll kick me over your head and stock down


                 D/E              A/E
carry him carry him carry him and pray


B7
if i mail this letter
        D/E
you can send it back to me
     A/E
just look
    B7
i love you

i love you
i love you
