A           E/G#  
If I died tomorrow
                          F#m7
Would this song live on forever? 
            D
And here is my

A                    E/G#
Unopened letter to a world
                 F#m7  D
That never shall reply

A E/G# F#m7 D

A           E/G#  
If I died tomorrow
                          F#m7
Would this song live on forever? 
            D
And here is my

A                    E/G#
Unopened letter to a world
                 F#m7  D
That never shall reply

Never shall reply
          Bm
From this second story window
      D                                    A       
I can hear the church balls calling out my name
     E/G#     F#m7
This table is set for one
     Bm
Even angels would be homesick
        D             Dm
In this forsaken town

A                  E/G#
On random notes of parchment
                  F#m7
I'm scrawling my existence
           D
Dressed in white

      A                             E/G#
This candle radiates throughout the night
                       F#m7
And it's never burning out
      D
Never burning out

          Bm
From this second story window
      D                                    A       
I can hear the children down on main street
        E/G#          F#m7
They're singing their songs tonight
       Bm                             D
In the shadows I will listen to their every movement
F#m7      A            D5+   D             D5+   D9
Mr. higginson am I not good enough for the world? 
   F#m7               A
Am I destined only to die
                  D5+   D D5+
The same way that I lived,
      D9
Its seclusion? 

    Bm
But high up on this mountain
      D                             A
I can almost see your lonely window sill
        E/G#      F#m7
They'll carry you off tonight

          Bm             
There's a ghost in your old bedroom
      D
And a candle burning bright

A          E/G#
If I die tomorrow
                         F#m7
Will this song live on forever?
