D       A
What do you see
F#m          E                  D
When you're lit up next to me
A               E       E
But you feel so far

D       A
And it's all so strange
F#m            E                                
That you never saw the change
D       A               E       E
You just felt something go missing in the dark

D            A
I wanna write you a letter
F#m          E
I wanna write you a song
D            A
I wanna make it better
D            A
I wanna write you a letter
F#m          E
I wanna write you a song
D       A       E       E
I wanna make it better, for when the nights get long
D       A       E       E
                When the nights get long
D       A       E       E 
                When the nights get long

D       A           F#m
A couple of words
E               D
Lit up on a screen
        A            E        E
Yeah it's all just make believe

D                   A        F#m
And from what I've heard
        E           D
There's miles between
        A               E       E
What we say and what we mean

D           A
I wanna write you a letter
F#m         E
I wanna write you a song
D           A
I wanna make it better
D           A
I wanna write you a letter
F#m         E
I wanna write you a song
D       A       E       E
I wanna make it better for when the nights get long
D       A       E       E
                When the nights get long
D       A       E       E
                When the nights get long
D       A       E       E
                When the nights get long
D       A       E       E

F#m                 D               E
So I told myself if I'm given the chance
E
I won't hold back anymore
F#m                     D
I'm not gonna keep it all in
E
Not gonna keep it all in
F#m                     D
Then I close my eyes and try to hide
E
But all of a sudden
F#m             D
It's you and me in the middle of it all

D           A
I wanna write you a letter
F#m                     E
I wanna write you a song
D           A
I wanna make it better
D           A
I wanna write you a letter
F#m         E
I wanna write you a song
D           A
I wanna make it better
D           A
So I wrote you a letter
F#m         E
I'll turn it into a song
D       A       E       E
Does that make it better for when the nights get long
D       A       E       E
                When the nights get long
D       A       E       E
                When the nights get long
D       A       E       E
                When the nights get long
D       A       E       E
                When the nights get long
                                
D       A       E       E
