[Verse 1]
Dm Am
It's been countless days, since last we wrote
Bb Gm Dm
And countless more, since last we spoke
Dm Am
But now that's all that remains
Bb Gm Dm
The letters that make up your name
Dm Am
And I used to see every line that crossed
Bb Gm Dm
Your face, but now the lines are lost
Dm Am
In stories told I've grown old
Bb Gm Dm Bb Gm Dm
Let me read again the letters that you sent
[Chorus]
Bb C Dm G Bb C Dm
C a r o l i n e wrote to me
Bb C Dm G Bb C Dm
E v e r y d a y of that July
Bb C Dm G Bb C Dm
But now that's all I have left
Bb C Dm G Bb C Dm
Just thirty one pages of Caroline
[Verse 1]
Dm Am
I waited all that time for you
Bb Gm Dm
To write me back, to write a new
Dm Am
Verse of our love but it never came
Bb Gm Dm
Just hoped my Caroline was safe
Dm Am
And just as I had always feared
Bb Gm Dm
Your precious words they disappeared
Dm Am
In to my mind as I went blind
Bb Gm Dm Bb Gm Dm
Let me read again the letters that you sent
