[Intro]
x2
[Verse]
          Â
Way, way down the line
                           Â
When we re both grey and old
                                 Â
I beg of you, open up my letters
                           Â
Tell me stories bout drinking wine
How he took you out for dinner
How you danced all night
                      Â
Tell me that you found someone better
[Chorus]
                         Â
As I want you to try
                         Â
As I want you to fly
I ain t saying you should be
alone for the rest of your life but
You rip his heart out
[Verse]
     Â
Way, way down the line
              Â
When we re both sixty-four
                  Â
I beg of you, open up my letters
                            Â
Well, I won t be telling stories bout drinking wine
Where I m born I m bound to die
                     Â
Carefully choosing every letter
[Chorus]
                         Â
As I want you to try
                         Â
As I want you to fly
I ain t saying you should be
alone for the rest of your life but
You rip his heart out
                         Â
As I want you to try
                         Â
As I want you to fly
I ain t saying you should be
alone for the rest of your life but
You rip his heart out
[Verse]
                Â
Wait, wait, wait in line she said
                      Â
Until that cold coyote comes
I beg of you
                  Â
Open up my letters
[Chorus]
                         Â
As I want you to try
                         Â
As I want you to fly
I ain t saying you should be
alone for the rest of your life but
You rip his heart out
                         Â
As I want you to try
                         Â
As I want you to fly
I ain t saying you should be
alone for the rest of your life but
You rip his heart out
