[Verse 1]
  G     G/C       G/D      G
I threw away your greatest hits
    G/C       G        G/D     G
You left them here the day you split
     G    G/C        G/D    G
Your bass guitar and Shaggs CD
      G/C        G         G/D     G
Well, they don't mean that much to me
      C                          Am7
Right now I'm going through your things
      C                        Am7
These days I'm changing all my strings
 
 
[Chorus]
                  G      Em
Gonna write you a letter
                      Bm   D
I'm gonna write you a book
                   G        Em
I want to see your reaction
                     Bm    D
I want to see how it looks
                   Am
From way upon your cloud
                         C
Where you've been hiding out
        Am
Are you getting somewhere
       C
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam

G         G/C     G/D      G
You won't get too far from me
    G/C   G    G/D       G
Believing everything you read
       G      G/C    G/D     G
You're wasted in the great unknown
    G/C  G       G/D   G     C
And I am finally ready to dispose
                    Am7
Of all your vintage clothes
     C                      Am7
Your drugs and every secret code
 
 
[Chorus]
                  G      Em
Gonna write you a letter
                      Bm   D
I'm gonna write you a book
                   G        Em
I want to see your reaction
                     Bm    D
I want to see how it looks
                   Am
From way upon your cloud
                         C
Where you've been hiding out
        Am
Are you getting somewhere
       C
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam
 
 
[Break]
G Em D G/B C    x2
 
 
[Verse 3]
N.C
From your red balloon you were
N.C
a super hi-tech jet fighter
G        G/C  G/D    G
Floating over planet Earth
     G/C       G         G/D      G        C
Come back down here I'll show you where it hurts
                 Am7
Take this bitter pill
                C    Am7
Is it easy to swallow
 
 
[Chorus]
                  G      Em
Gonna write you a letter

I'm gonna write you a book
                   G        Em
I want to see your reaction
                     Bm    D
I want to see how it looks
                   Am
From way upon your cloud
                         C
Where you've been hiding out
        Am
Are you getting somewhere
       C
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam
