Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

 I threw away your greatest hits

 You left them here the day you split

 Your bass guitar and Shaggs CD

 Well they don't mean that much to me right now

 I'm going through your things

 These days

 I'm changing all my strings

Chorus 1

I'm gonna write you a letter

 I'm gonna write you a book

 I wanna see your reaction

 I wanna see how it looks

 From way up on your cloud

 Where you've been hiding out

 Are you getting somewhere?

 Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?

 Post-Chorus Riff: x2

Verse 2

You won't get too far from me

 Believing everything you read

 You're wasted in the great unknown

 And I am finally ready to dispose

 Of all your vintage clothes

 Your drugs

 And every secret code

Chorus 1

Post Chorus Riff x3, 1st time strum each chord once

Verse 3

From your red balloon you were

 A super high-tech jet fighter

Floating over planet earth

 Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts

 Take this bitter pill

 Is it easy to swallow?

Chorus 2

I'm gonna write you a letter

 I'm gonna write you a book

 I wanna see your reaction

 I wanna see how it looks

 From way up on your cloud

 You're never coming down

 Are you getting somewhere?

 Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?

Post-Chorus Riff x4
