Hello

Do you remember me
          Cm
I am your long lost pen pal
   Ab                 Bb                D#         Bb
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
  D#
I don’t really know what happened
        Cm
I guess life came in the way
       Ab                     Bb
Let me know if you’re still alive
       Ab               Bb                 D#         
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not

Hello

Yes I remember you
           Cm
I’ve got a husband and two children now
  Ab                        Bb                  D#      Bb
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
D#                                    Cm
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
    Ab                Bb
And you would comfort me
        Ab                    Bb
when my tears would stain the ink
    Ab               Bb                  D#            Bb
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on

Ab              Bb              D#            Bb/D
    I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Cm            Ab   Bb             Ab
Tried to make life better than it was
               Bb
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
                   D#
And I still need a friend

D#
There was this letter
        Cm
I never told you this back then
    Ab                  Bb              D#            Bb
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
D#
I sat in the window
             Cm
The only one left out from a party again
       Ab                     Bb
Pretty sure I didn’t have a single friend
                   D#           Bb
Then I checked the mailbox

D#
Dear long lost penpal
      Cm
I was lying the whole time
    Ab        Bb                    D#         Bb
I’m really a 46 years old man named Luke
D#
I have three children
      Cm
and a wife, she doesn’t care
      Ab                Bb
And I hope you don’t resent me
      Ab              Bb
And I hope you do not hate me
    Ab                    Bb                           D#         Bb
For trying to find my way back to what it’s like to be young


Ab              Bb              D#            Bb/D
    I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Cm            Ab   Bb             Ab
Tried to make life better than it was
               Bb
I still wasn’t kissed at sixteen
                   D#
And I still need a friend
