 E      Am      E      Am
Dear little devil, how's tricks these days?

I didn't write, didn't know what to say

Dear little colonel, one foot in the grave
E      Am      E    Am
Fighting the war with an unsteady aim

With nothing for no one, so no one is saved

You can't ask for forgiveness if you think you must atone

For what you know

The world must be an awful place
Am         F
When you can't let go

You can't see what you're made of if you think you're made of stone
  E    Am
And all alone


F          G
And every time you say you will
Am
You prove to me you won't

Your world was such a lovely place
Am       F
Still, I can't let go
  F           G         Am       C
I can't see what you're made of when you think you must atone
  E      Am
For what you know
   E      Am
And what you've done
