*** Alan told me that the correct Em7 chord is (02x030). (045050) is probably
    played this way also (04x050).

Intro

(1) I'm writing you to
catch you up on places I've been
You held this letter
probably got excited, but there's nothing else inside it

(2a) Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
in the mood to lose my way with words

Intro

(1) Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy's cliché
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
are next to mountains anyway

(2b) Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
in the mood to lose my way
but let me say
(3) You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
just no more 3x5's 

(4)

I guess you had to be there
I guess you had to be with me 
(2b) Today I finally overcame
tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to
lose my way but let me say
(3) You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
No more 3x5's
Just no more 3x5's
