Ron Pope - Writing Letters Chords

            G                D
I spend my days writing letters
             Em               C  
I spend my evenings singing songs
               G                   D
The last five years have gone so quickly
        Em                    C
Someday soon my time will be done

      G                         D
And I used to walk in New York City
                Em                       C
But watch the sunrise east of Tompkins Square
                 G                   D
Since I've been gone, does the city miss me?
    Em                 C
I wonder if she hears my call

Chorus:
            G                 D
Though I am far away and I am all alone
           Em                         C
There are parts of me that still are holding on
            G                             D
To moments long since passed, and secrets I recall
               Em                 C           
And friends I used to have who I don't know anymore

             G                D
I watch the sky in each new city
              Em                    C
It's not so different, I see more stars
                    G                 D
Now I'm counting clouds to calm my feelings
              Em                 C
Which tend to race away in the dark

Chorus 
              G                        D
I don't wanna be or seem like I don't care
              Em              C
It just gets hard on me out there

             G                 D
But when I dream I'm not in Memphis
            Em               C
I'm on my way home on that train
            G                    D
And I don't feel so lost and different
          Em                      C
Lord, the miles, how they cut me deep

Chorus
