*No Capo*
        EADGBE
Tuning:       Standard
(INTRO)
B     F#/A#
 Address this letter 
         G#m
to dear father
        E                    B
I know you was complete unknown
              F#/A#             G#m
I guess it's better, you don't bother
          E                     B
All our truths should be left alone
F#    G#m    E
          B   F#/A#   G#m    F#    E
Be left alone, 
          B
be left alone
(VERSE)
                  F#              G#m
I learned the things you never showed me
            E                  B
Took the chances you'd have blown
              F#             G#m
And to this day the one and only
         E                 B
You remain a complete unknown
F#    G#m    E
             B   F#/A#   G#m    F#    E
Complete unknown, 
             B
complete unknown
(CHORUS)
                        F#
You're out there somewhere
                      G#m
I don't know if you care at all
 E                  B
It seems that you don't
                 F#             G#m
It's as if the day will never come
            E                 B
So you remain a complete unknown
(INTERLUDE)
F#    G#m    E
(VERSE)
B           F#
 So many years 
              G#m
have been ignored
              E              B
You've been gone without a trace
            F#                G#m
I'm getting used to knowing you're
        E              B
Just a name without a face
F#    G#m    E
           B   F#/A#   G#m    F#    E
Without a face,
           B
without a face

You're out there somewhere
