G             Bm          Em
  He left the postcards behind
             D             C
‘Cause she’s on the other side
    Bm .                  Am              Bm
His eyes turned white for desperate minds
  G            Bm             Em
A faded understatement of the other kind
   D               C             Bm             Am     Bm
Beware of time & space before it loses all it’s shine

G  Bm Em
   1959
    D                  C
Her voice still on his mind
   Bm                  Am       Bm
In 5 years time they’d be devine
G  Bm                  Em
   Pushed away in tears
       D            C        Bm                 Am                 Bm
And it took so many years to read the note that said “I loved you, don’t you know?”

[Chorus]
C                        E/C
Spilled water on his cheeks
                     F
Faded, so he can’t see
    Fm             C
The letters of her words, so kind
   Am
We don’t know how to love
   F
We don't know how to love

[Verse]
G               Bm                     Em
    And now the tables turned bright red
    D                   C        Bm             Am        Bm
The things that we had said they lay out in the open air
G       Bm            Em
    Now anyone can see
     D                  C
That she’s special to me
Bm             Am           Bm
Always was and always will be

[Chorus]
C                   E/C
Spilled water on my cheeks
                    F
Faded, so I can’t ee
    Fm             C
The letters of her words, so kind

[Interlude]
   Am
We don’t know how to love
   F
We don't know how to love
   C
We don't know how to love
   F
We don't know how to love

[Outro]
Am
A mistake
        F
We were bound to make
C
A mistake
        G
We were bound to make
