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

          B   F#/A# G#m F#  E
Be left alone,
          B
be left alone

I learned the things you never showed me
Took the chances you'd have blown
And to this day, the one and only
You remain a complete unknown

Complete unknown,
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

So many years have been ignored
You've been gone without a trace
I'm getting used to knowing you're
Just a name without a face

Without a face, without a face

Chorus:
You're out there somewhere,
I don't know if you
Care at all, it seems that you don't
It's as if the day will never
Come, so you remain a complete unknown
You're out there somewhere,
I don't know if you
Care at all, it seems that you don't
It's as if the day will never
Come, so you remain a complete unknown

Unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown
Unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown

Address this letter to Dear Father
I know you as complete unknown
I guess it's better you don't bother
All our truths should be left alone


Chorus

You're out there somewhere,
I don't know if you care...
