Verse 1
I watched the [B5]smoke as [F#add11/A#]it grew darker and [G#m7]blew up through the [E5add9]roof
I watched the [B5]fed, [F#add11/A#]saw them panic [G#m7]as the fire grew[E5add9]
I saw [B5]Virginia get [F#add11/A#]rid of Langley [G#m7]and its secrets, too[E5add9]
I held your [B5]hand and [F#add11/A#]sat there knowing [G#m7]that we'd make it through[E5add9]
Interlude

Verse 2
I saw this [B5]man [F#add11/A#]dispose of hunger [G#m7]and soap operas, too[E5add9]
I saw this [B5]field that [F#add11/A#]grew perfection [G#m7]full of things you [E5add9]do
I saw this [B5]box get [F#add11/A#]rid of heartache [G#m7]and cure cancer, too[E5add9]
When I [B5]awoke, I [F#add11/A#]sat there hoping [G#m7]this is what we'll do[E5add9]
Chorus 1
If we [B5]can, we will [G#m7]leave a letter and this [B5/F#]song for you
And we'll [B5]write once a [G#m7]day, and put it through the [B5/F#]sea to you
We'll [B5]regret all those [G#m7]things we thought of, but [B5/F#]didn't ever do

Chorus 2
If we [B5]can, we will [G#m7]leave a letter and this [B5/F#]song for you
And we'll [B5]write once a [G#m7]day, and put it through the [B5/F#]sea to you
We'll [B5]regret all those [G#m7]things we thought of, but [B5/F#]didn't ever do
When the [B5]sky Seems to [G#m7]clear, who will then be [B5/F#]left but a few, me and you?
