C# A
I wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph
E
Behind your back it goes
C# A E
A little something like this is way too big to miss

I got a letter in the mail
A E C#
The sender failed to let me know where it came from
A B
Opened it up and sure enough there we were arm in arm again
[Intro part one]
C# A
I know it's small but my last call's been called
E C#
half an hour ago
A
I know it's late but do you think you could at least
E C#
fix it for me

Then I'll go I'll go alone I swear
E C#
I won't tell a soul
A B E
I'll drink this beer and write in fear of a song everybody hates
CHORUS:
E (continued)
Armageddon, let the light in

Armageddon, we're not begging

For too much I don't think

Need a goodbye kiss before we sink
