  I wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph
   
 Behind your back it goes
                                         
  A little something like this   is way too big to miss
  
 I got a letter in the mail
                                               
 The sender failed to let me know where it came from
                                            
 Opened it up and sure enough there we were arm in arm again
 
 
 [Intro part one]
 
                              
  I know it's small but my last call's been called
               
 half an hour ago
                               
 I know it's late but do you think you could at least
             
 fix it for me
                        
 Then I'll go I'll go alone I swear
                   
 I won't tell a soul
                                                           
 I'll drink this beer and write in fear of a song everybody hates
 
 
 
 CHORUS:
 
  (continued)
 Armageddon, let the light in
                                       
  Before we say goodbye give us something to believe in
 
 Armageddon, we're not begging
     
 For too much I don't think
                       
 Need a goodbye kiss before we sink
 
 
 [Intro parts one and two]

   E (let ring)
 Behind your back it goes
                                         
  A little something like this   is way too big to miss
  
 I got a letter in the mail

 Opened it up and sure enough there we were up in arms again
 
 
 CHORUS:
 
  (continued)
 Armageddon, let the light in
                                       
  Before we say goodbye give us something to believe in
 
 Armageddon, we're not begging
     
 For too much I don't think
                       
 Need a goodbye kiss before we sink

 CHORUS:
 
  
 Armageddon, let the light in
                                      
 Before we say goodbye give us something to believe in
 
 Armageddon, we're not begging
     
 For too much I don't think
                        
 Need one last salute before we sink
