[Bm] [D] There's a letter [G] on the desk [C] that I dug [G] out of a drawer, [F#] the last trust [G] we ever came to
[C] in our [G] adolescent war.
[D] And I start to [G] feel the fever through the warm air through the screen.

And the Mississippi's mighty, [C] it starts [G] in Minnesota,

Now [D] [F#] I see [G] your face before me
I would launch a thousand ships
To [F#] bring your heart [D] back [G] to my island
As the sand beneath me slips
As I burn [E] up [G] in your presence
