[Intro]
          Em                  G
There's a note underneath the front door
       Em                G     D/F#
that I wrote twenty years ago
        Em               G
Yellow paper and a faded picture
      Am          
And a secret in an envelope

           Em          G
There's no reasons No excuses
           Em          G    D/F#
There's no secondhand alibis
          Em                G
Just some black ink on some blue lines
       Am              (Riff)
and a shadow you won't recognize

[Instrumental]

(Riff)

       Em                G
In the mean time I'll be waiting
            Em              G    D/F#
for twenty years and twenty more
        Em          G
I'll be praying for redemption
         Am                 Em   D/F#
and your note underneath my door
         Am               (Riff)
And your note underneath my door
