Verse 1

 I watched the smoke

 As it grew darker

 And blew up

 through the roof

 I watched the fed

Saw them panic

As the fire grew

 I saw Virginia

 Get rid of Langley

And its secrets too

 I held your hand

 And sat there knowing

That we'd make it through

Interlude

G#m--F#--E--Ebm-B-F#/Bb

Verse 2

 I saw this man

 Dispose of hunger

And soap operas too

 I saw this field

 That grew perfection

Full of things you

 do I saw this box

 Get rid of heartache

And cure cancer

 too When I awoke

 I sat there hoping

This is what we'll do

Chorus 1

 If we can

 We will leave a letter

 and this song for you

 And we'll write

 Once a day And put it

 through the sea To you

 We'll regret All those things

 we thought of but didn't ever do

Interlude

Distortion: Ebm--G#m-Ebm-E(hold) x2

Acoustic: B/Eb--E-- x4

Chorus 2

 If we can

 We will leave a letter

 and this song for you

 And we'll write

 Once a day And put it

 through the sea To you

 We'll regret All those things

 we thought of but didn't ever do

 When the sky Seems to clear

 Who will then be left

G#m--F#--E--Ebm-B-F#/Bb x2 B(hold)

but a few? Me and you
