I figured this out a few min's ago and just had to post it, as it is a
brillant song, one of my favorites.
The whole song has only two chords, but I don't know their names. These
chords are: 007760 (I'll call it a "Am") and 007780 (I'll call it "Asus4").
Artist: Kristin Hersh
Song: The Letter
Album: Hips And Makers
Intro:Am, Asus4 x 2
September 29, Am1984Asus4. Dear so and so
  AmGather me up because I'm Asus4lost
Or am I Amback where I started from
I'm cAsus4rawling on the floor rolling on tAmhe ground
I might Asus4cry,  I won't go AmhomeAsus4  
I am tAmurning up in circles
And I'm spAsus4inning on my knuckles
Don't fAmorget there are circles left Asus4undone
And very cAmlose to me
Forgive Asus4me, comforAmt me
I'm cAsus4rawling on the floor, rolling on Amthe groundAsus4  
There's a blanket wrapped around my head
I'm moving in a line that's shaped like this
I'm...I'm holding in my breath
I have a room
Can you tell if I am lying
Don't forget I'm living inside the space where walls and floor meet
There's a box inside my chest
An animal stuffed with my frustrations
Can you hear me?
Don;t forget that I'm alone when you're away
You make me act like another people, do forgive me
Comfort me, you comfort me, you make me cry
I'm gonna cry, I won't go home
Doooooooooonnnnnnn't kill the god of sadness
Just don't let her get you down
See the man inside a book I read can't handle his own head
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
I wonder how he died
My hands are shaking, don't you love me anymore
I only need a person, keep my shoulders
Stand around, lie down, move your hand above the floor
(softer)
Gather me up because I'm lost
Or am I back where I started from
I'm crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground
I'm gonna cry, you look for me
Love Kristin
P.S. Keep them coming
I'm not sure if it's right, but it sounds alot like it.

Intro:Am, Asus4 x 2

Am Asus4

September 29, 1984. Dear so and so

Am Asus4

Gather me up because I'm lost

Or am I back where I started from

Asus4 Am

I'm crawling on the floor rolling on the ground

Asus4 Am Asus4

I might cry, I won't go home

I am turning up in circles

Asus4

And I'm spinning on my knuckles

Am Asus4

Don't forget there are circles left undone

And very close to me

Asus4 Am

Forgive me, comfort me

Asus4 Am Asus4

I'm crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground

There's a blanket wrapped around my head

I'm moving in a line that's shaped like this

I'm...I'm holding in my breath

I have a room

Can you tell if I am lying

Don't forget I'm living inside the space where walls and floor meet

There's a box inside my chest

An animal stuffed with my frustrations

Can you hear me?

Don;t forget that I'm alone when you're away

You make me act like another people, do forgive me

Comfort me, you comfort me, you make me cry

I'm gonna cry, I won't go home

Doooooooooonnnnnnn't kill the god of sadness

Just don't let her get you down

See the man inside a book I read can't handle his own head

So what the hell am I supposed to do?

I wonder how he died

My hands are shaking, don't you love me anymore

I only need a person, keep my shoulders

Stand around, lie down, move your hand above the floor

(softer)

Or am I back where I started from

Love Kristin
