This girl from Australia wrote us a letter and she told us that she was going through some really hard times in the hospital
and that she was about to pass away.
And she wanted to [G] say thanks to us for helping her through some of the hard times while she was in the hospital.
And part of me was really kind of grateful that this girl, you know, said she [D] got through some of her harder times.
But then the other part of me was seeing this girl who wrote me this letter telling me she was going to give up on life.
So in turn, I wrote her this song and I sent it to her and it's called My Reply.
It's going to be on our new record.

[A] [D]
got your letter [B] and the poetry you sent me

I [D] really hope you're doing better
[B] All your friends close by your side
[C] One step closer to [G] recovery
[A] [D]
I wish there was something I [A] could say
To [B] erase [A] each and every [G] page [D] you've been through
[A] Even though it's not my place to say [G] you
I appreciate [D] but can't accept
[A] This thank you [B] note that's [E] sealed with your [G] last breath
And I [A] won't stand to say
And listen to you give [D] up
If you'll just hold on for one more second
[B]
Just hold on to what you have
[C]
Just hold on, just hold [G]
on
Sing it!
[D] If you'll just hold on for one more second
[B]
Just hold on to what you have
[C]
Just hold on, just hold [G]
on
[A] [D]
These arms remain stretched out to [B] you
Maybe someday you'll accept [C] that
Maybe it's too late to say
[G] A young girl's heart that's long stopped [A] beating
Wake up, wake up, you've got to [B] believe
Wake up, wake up, you can't [C] give up
Time keeps going [N] on
