Lucy Spraggan - Dear you

^F#mI always f^E/G#elt like you've kn^Aown me, I th^Dought of you wh^Een I got l^Aonely, Now th^Aere's nothing ^Eelse I can d^F#mo, This is m^De reaching ^Eout to y^Aou

Dear you,^F#m I hope you don't mind me writing, 'cause it's b^Eeen some time since we last spoke,^A

N.C.

I hope you're doing more than fine, damn all that time I don't know where it goes, ^F#m Man I bet there's been some change^E and in my brain you've been doing so well, ^A

N.C.

I know I haven't called but I know

N.C.

it's important, tell me all there is to tell

^F#mI always f^E/G#elt like you've kn^Aown me, I th^Dought of you wh^Een I got l^Aonely, Now th^Aere's nothing ^Eelse I can d^F#mo, This is m^De reaching ^Eout to y^Aou

Dear you,^F#m it looks like you must have moved house, the l^East address I got for you was time ago now, You're pr^Aobably in Spain or the states no doubt, in school I always knew that it was you who'd get out,^{E F#m} I heard you dumped Christeen but th^Eat was probably what, 2003, I be^At you've got a super hot wife or three, you were always such a player when we were sixteen, ^{E F#m} I hope our paths cross sometime, I c^Ean't seem to find your profile online, Drop me a c^Aall, any day or night is fine

because I'd love to see your face after all this time

Dear you,^F#m7 me again, obviously it's a letter, it's w^Eeird writing these to you makes me feel better, ^{A A}'Cause sometimes when it's dark or when it's really bad weather, ^AI feel like I might just feel down forever, L^East n^F#might I really thought that it might have been it, like I j^Eust couldn't deal with any more shit, I want^Aed to disappear and I think if I did, it'd be at least a week before it went noticed,^E I w^F#manna go back, back to when we were kids when we d^Eidn't know pain could feel like this, ^{A A}When we didn't know hurt and we didn't know

risk but we all grew up and I guess that's it,

Dear you,^F#m it's strange how quickly we can loose sight, I c^Ealled your old landline late last night, I reme^Ambered those numbers since '99, anyway I called because you hadn't replied,^E I got thr^F#mough to your parents, they were so surprised, they ^Easked me if I still lived down park drive, I g^Aot the worst feeling when I heard your dad cry, when your mum took the phone and went outside, ^{E F#m} Man, she told me how hard you tried,^E that it didn't work out with your kids and wife,^A

N.C.

I nearly dropped the phone and had tears in my eyes,

N.C.

when she said, you took your own life last July.
