****The original song sounds like it was played on a guitar tuned to an open A5, barring only the bottom
       three strings and letting the top three ring out above each chord. I recommend playing the song
      this way to best match the recording. The rhythm is the hardest part to get down (the song is in 7/4
           with a triplet feel) but the first chord in each line takes 3 beats and the second takes 4.


[Verse 1]
    
Wrote myself a

 letter
       
Just a single 


question
    
"When you fina

lly get this
        
Where will you


 be?
              
Will you be a 

          
shipwreck or a

 
 star
              
Falling for a 

         
boy who doesn'

           
t play guitar?


"
              
Now rewind the

          
 tape back to 

      
the start
              
Said I'd never

           
 leave you but

      
 here we are


[Chorus]
              
And you can't 

          
look at me now
           
I haven't chan

         
ged, I'm still

 the same
              
But you can't 

      
look at me now
           
A hand grenade

    
 to throw away


[Verse 2]
    
Now my friends

 all tell me
           
"Girl, you're 


getting skinny
    
Have you not b

een sleeping?"
       
How could I be


?
              
Trying to find

          
 a lightswitch

       
 in the dark
            
Burying the go

           
od girl I know

     
 I'm not
              
Now rewind the

Said I'd never

           
 leave you but

 
 here we are


[Chorus]
              
And you can't 

          
look at me now
           
I haven't chan

         
ged, I'm still

 the same
              
But you can't 

      
look at me now
           
A hand grenade

    
 to throw away


[Bridge]
