[Intro]
Em C G Em C G
[Verse 1]
Em C Am C
I never thought you were the letter writing type
Em C Am C
So now I see the words you choose the way you write
Em Bm C G
So I started to write back about the trees in the snow
Em Bm C G
And I saw a bird, couldn't say what it was but I thought you'd know
Am C G
You always surprised me
[Chorus]
Em C G
And if I wrote you
Em C G
If I wrote you
Em C G
You would know me
Em C G
And you would not write me again
[Verse 2]
Em C Am C
And when the spring came and flooded all the streams
Em C Am C
It's like how you got the night you told me all your dreams
Em Bm C G
And when the barn roof sagged after an icy bout
Em Bm C G
It's like how you shrugged when you knew the truth was the only way out
Am C G
But not the only way, oh no
[Chorus]
Em C G
And if I wrote you
Em C G
If I wrote you
Em C G
You would know me
Em C G
And you would not write me again
[Verse 3]
Em C Am C
We drew our arms around the bastard sons
Em C Am C
We never would drink to the chosen ones
Em Bm C G
Well you know the way I went was not the way I planned
Em Bm C G
But I thought the world needed love and a steady hand
Am C G
So I'm steady now
[Chorus]
Em C G Em
And I'm so happy;
Em C G
I had to tell you
Em C G
And I love you
Em C G
And you will not write me again
Em C G Em C G
You will not write me again
Em C G
You will not write me again
