[Intro]
E A E A D G

[Verse 1]
E
It was three in the morning when she took me apart
A
She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my heart
E
She danced on my head like Arthur Murray
A
The scars ain't never going to mend in a hurry
D
Just when I thought I could learn to forget her
G
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter

[Chorus]
B C
Oh, oh, oh love love
D
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
G
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

B C
Oh, oh, oh love love love
D
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
G
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

[Verse 2]
E
Well my head was beating like a song by the Clash
A
It was writing cheques that my body couldn't cash
E
Got to my feet, I was reeling and dizzy
A
I went for the 'phone but the line was busy
D
Just when I thought that things would get better
G
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter

[Chorus]
B C
Oh, oh, oh love love
D
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
G
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

B C
Oh, oh, oh love love love
D
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
G
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

[Verse 3]
E
Well I like coffee and I like tea
A
But I just don't like this fiddle-di-dee
E
It makes me nervous, it gives me the hives
A
Waiting for a kiss from a bunch of fives
D
Just when I think I could learn to forget her
G
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter

[Chorus]
B C
Oh, oh, oh love love
D
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
G
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

Oh, oh, oh love love love
D
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
G
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

B C
Oh, oh, oh love love love
D
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
G
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
