Tabbed by: Tomsus4

A lovely song which a lovely person asked me to tab out

Tuning: Ben Cooper of RF plays this half a step down with a capo on fifth. Personally, I 
prefer standard tuning
with a capo on fourth. All down to preference though.

For the record, when I say F#/Dsus2, I mean this:
e:0
B:3
G:2
D:0
A:0
E:2

And F#/Dsus4 is this:
e:3
B:3
G:2
D:0
A:0
E:2

During the riff, however, it sounds better and truer to the song to not play the two 
higher strings. They are
played, however, in the instrumental sections every two verses.

G   Em                   F#/Dsus2          G     Em
So, I'm writing' you this letter between rests
                   F#/Dsus2         G    Em
'cause yesterday a bullet found my chest
                    F#/Dsus2   G      C
And I don't got the energy to dress myself
    Em      F#/Dsus2     G
And I can't walk without help

    G                     Em       F#/Dsus2

    G       Em
And now...
                F#/Dsus2            G       Em
I can't remember why I joined this war
                    F#/Dsus2              G     Em
And I can't tell you what we're fightin' for
                 F#/Dsus2        G       C
I guess I wasn't smart enough to see the game
         Em       F#/Dsus2   G
And that no one's keepin' score

C(with high e string at 3rd fret)   G   D

C(with high e string at 3rd fret)   D   G     Important: for this next verse, all 
chords are played with
                                               e and B strings at 3rd fret

         Em                F#/Dsus4             G          Em
And now, you would not believe the things I miss
                    F#/Dsus4              G         Em
It's all the little things that fill that list
                       F#/Dsus4
Like playin' with the dogs
             G     Cadd9    Em     F#/Dsus4   G
And helpin' father chop the wood behind the fence

    G                     Em       F#/Dsus2

G        Em
Now...
                     F#/Dsus2     G    Em
I'm not sure if I'll see another day
                   F#/Dsus2        G     Em
The doctor said it could go either way
                 F#/Dsus2
But I just wanted you to know
    G     C     Em    F#/Dsus2
No matter if I sink or fall
    G        C       Em    F#/Dsus2
or blink out in this hospital
     G   C
That I'm alright, yeah
Em    F#/Dsus2        G    Em
I made peace with it all
F#/Dsus2      G     Em
Mistakes and all
F#/Dsus2      G   Cadd9   F#/Dsus4   Cadd9

Mistakes and all
              G   Cadd9   F#/Dsus4   Dsus4-D-Dsus4
Mistakes and all

G   Cadd9   F#/Dsus4   Cadd9
