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
