Matilda from Missoula I want you to know

Verse 2
GAmCG
See I got me a job and it just pays the rent
AmCG
And saves me from hours I'd otherwise spend

Remembering sunsets coming down in the west

AmCG
And I write you this letter, from my one-bedroom hole
AmCG
Ya know I made a space for us, for us to call home
Verse 3

How is that 6 string I left in your care?
AmCG
You know I found me another and I cut my hair.
AmCG
And it's not quite my style but fits right around here,
AmCG
And I get good attention but you've no need to fear
AmCG
Because I write you this letter, after nights out alone,
AmCD
Do you know when it is dear, that you can come home?
