Bm    G      D    A
  Now coming down out of this
Bm        G         D    A
swan dive   to your arms
Bm  G       D      A
  I make no sounds when I
  Bm              G      D    A
move through your   reservoir
Bm                 G
  but I wake up quick
Bm                 G
  and I wake up sick
   Bm   G      D  Em
As you abandon me into these
G         A           Bm  Bm
fields of rank and file

[Pre-chorus 1]
Bm           A       G        D
Through this cloud I hear you breathing
Bm            A      G          D          Em   F#
Through these bars I watch them bring more in

[Chorus]
      D                 F#m                G    G
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home
        D                  F#m           G
where I slow dance to this romance on my own
       Em                   F#m                 A
May be two to tango but boy     it's one to let go
A                           Bm  G  D  A
  Well it's just one to let go

Bm  G  D  A

[Verse 2]
Bm    G        D      A
  Now boy keep still, now don't
Bm             G       D  A
spread yourself around
Bm        G       D     A
  Now get back in line, eat your
Bm             G        D    A
bread and just work the plow
Bm                       G
  'Cause you're not through,
Bm                           G
  they're not done with with you
        Bm G         D        Em
Did you    think you were the only
G          A        Bm    Bm
one that's been let down?

[Pre-chorus 2]
   Bm          A      G           D
So sleep tight little boys of the new damned
Bm          A           G             D        Em   F#
Another the drop in the tidal wave of quicksand

[Chorus]
      D                 F#m                G    G
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home
        D                  F#m           G
where I slow dance to this romance on my own
         Em                   F#m                 A  A
May take two to tango but boy     it's one to let go

[Bridge]
     G      Bm  Em        D
Now another bad idea gets through
G                 Em      A
Down the assembly line to you
       Bm    Em                   Bm
You're every bridge I should have burned
      Em            Bm
Every lesson I've unlearned

[Pre-chorus 3]
Bm      A            G       D
In this smoke-filled waiting room
       Bm   A     G         D
With incarcerated love sick fools
       Em              F#
I will wait for you to cut me loose

[Chorus]
F#
But till then I'll...
D                 F#m            G    G
Send back letters from wasteland home
        D                  F#m           G   G
Where I slow dance to this romance on my own
      D                 F#m                G
Now I send back letters from the wasteland home
G            D                  F#m           G   G
From where I slow dance to this romance on my own

[Outro]
D   F#m   G   G   x4
