Tom: A
A G#m F#m
[Verse 1]
A F#m E D
Takes a dried up ball-point, lemon juice and water
A F#m E D
keeps a diary invisibly,
A F#m E D A
In the kitchen corner of a basement bachelor suite
F#m E D
there's a certain search for certainty, you know we'll never see
E A G#/A F#m E D
her hands touch her childhood home in photos that she took.
E A G#/A F#m E D
It's one more omission from a high school history book;
E A G#/A F#m A G#/A F#m (A)
how whole lives get knifed and pushed aside. To whom it may concern...
[Chorus 1]
A F#m E D
(to whom it may concern) There's a bus thats leaving half an hour from now.
A F#m E D
(this is to inform) It won't take her where she really wants to go.
A F#m E D
(yours sincerely yours) So she sits there with her luggage at her side.
A F#m E D
(yours sincerely yours) in the empty stations of our empty lives.
[Verse 2]
A F#m E D
Take a broken bottle. Take a rafter beam.
A F#m E D
Take a needle and a tarnished spoon.
A F#m E D
Or just words to kill off one more unheard statement
A F#m E D
of another dying afternoon. She says she's leaving soon.
E A G#/A F#m E D
So so long to ten hour shifts and faking sympathies.
E A G#/A F#m E D
Farewell to piles of bills, unpayed utilities.
E A G#/A F#m A G#/A F#m A G#/A F#m (A)
All rolled up and unfurled like a flag. Wake up and pack your bag. To whom it may concern...
[Chorus 2]
A F#m E D
(to whom it may concern) There's a bus that's leaving half an hour from now.
A F#m E D
(this is to inform) It won't take her where she really wants to go.
A F#m E D
(yours sincerely yours) So she sits there with her luggage at her side.
A F#m E D
(yours sincerely yours) leaving empty stations, leaving empty lives.
[Outro]
A F#m E D
To whom it may concern
A F#m E D
This is to inform
A F#m E D
Yours sincerley yours
A F#m E D A
Yours sincerley yours
