He left the postcards behind

‘Cause she’s on the other side

A faded understatement of the other kind

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
