[Intro]
D
[Verse]
G
I'm going to write a tear stained letter
D
I'm going to mail it straight to you
D
I'm going to bring back to your mind
E7 A
What you said about always being true
D
About our secret hiding places
G
Being daily satisfied
D
I can see you sitting and reading it
D
While you hang, you head and cry
D
I just hope you're not so sad
A D
You're going to go down suicide
G
I'm going to write a tear stained letter
D
Put it special delivery
D
Because it's gonna be full of stuff
E7 A
That's only known to you and me
D
About how every time I get turned on
G
You turn me off and bring me down
D
It'll be about the darkest news
D
That ever did arrive in your hometown
D
It'll be about the saddest thing
A D
Your mailman ever did bring around
G
I'm going to write a tear stained letter
D
I'm going to tell you one more time
D
That you still could reconsider
E7 A
And come back to being mine
D
And if you think about what I'm saying
D G
It'd be hard to refuse
D
Just be sure you think a long time
D
On the answer that you choose
D
It will be a most important piece
A D
Of personal, private news
G
I'm going to write a tear stained letter
D
Mark it "Personal Private News"
D
And I hope you'll keep it to yourself
E7 A
And don't go around crying the blues
D
Giving off a bad impression
D G
As to what went really wrong
D
When what it was, was that suddenly
D
The music was all gone
D
And this man and this woman got cut off
A D
In the middle of our song
G
I'm going to write a tear stained letter
D
I'm going to put it to a tune
D
So I'll be sending with it
E7 A
A sweet melody for you
D
And not some red-hot, upbeat zinger
D G
That'll set your body on fire
D
But a hunk of love included
D
Meant to take you a little higher
D
And to settle on your sweet, sweet mind
A D
At night when you retire
[Outro]
G End on D
I'm going to write a tear stained letter
