Key: Eb
Chords used:
Intro: Cm
Verse 1:
I used to write
I used to write letters
I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing lights
settled deep in my brain
Cm < Bass Enters
But by the time we met
By the time we met the times
had already changed
Verse 2:
So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart
I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was lost standing in the
wilderness downtown
Refrain:
Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last
Verse 3:
But it seems strange
How we used to wait
for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so
small can keep you alive
We used to wait
We used to waste hours
just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives
G# Eb < Basslines
in the wilderness downtown
Chorus 1:
Ooh we used to wait
Ooh we used to wait
Ooh we used to wait
(Sometimes it never came)
Ooh we used to wait
(Sometimes it never came)
Ooh we used to wait
(Still moving
through the pain)
Oohhhhh
Verse 4:
I'm gonna write
A letter to my true love
I'm gonna sign my name
Like a patient on a table
I wanna walk again
gonna move through the pain
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus 2:
Ooh we used to wait
Ooh we used to wait
Ooh we used to wait
(Sometimes it never came)
Ooh we used to wait
(Sometimes it never came)
Ooh we used to wait
(Still moving
through the pain)
Chorus 3:
we used to wait
we used to wait
we used to wait

We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming
sing the chorus a gain
We used to wait for it
We used to wait for it
Now we're screaming
sing the chorus a gain
I used to wait for it
I used to wait for it
Hear my voice screaming
sing the chorus a gain
