Words and music by David Bowie
INTRO: Cmaj7 Am7 Em Am7 A7
D7 Cmaj7 G
The hand that wrote this letter sweeps the pillow clean
D7 Cmaj7 G
So rest your head and read a treasured dream
Am Cmaj7
I care for no one else but you
Am
I tear my soul to cease the pain
Em7sus4
I think maybe you feel the same
Em
What can we do?
Am7 Cmaj7
I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do
A7 Cmaj7 Em
So I've been writing just for you
D7 Cmaj7 G
They say your life is going very well
D7 Cmaj7 G
They say you sparkle like a different girl
Am Cmaj7
But something tells me that you hide
Am
When all the world is warm and tired
Em7sus4
You cry a little in the dark
Em
Well so do I
Am7 Cmaj7
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say
A7 Cmaj7 Em
But I can see it's not okay
D7 Cmaj7 G
He makes you laugh he brings you out in style
D7 Cmaj7 G
He treats you well and makes you up real fine
Am Cmaj7
And when he's strong he's strong for you
Am
And when you kiss it's something new
Em7sus4
But did you ever call my name
Em
Just by mistake?
Am7 Cmaj7
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do
A7 Cmaj7 Em
So I'll just write some love to you
Cmaj7
Do, do, do
Em
Do, do, do, do, do
Fdim5/E
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
