The Letter
No Capo
[Intro]
C G Am Em F G
[Verse 1]
C G Am
Doubt I'll ever put this on a record
C F G
It's more a letter to you
C G Am
I remember all them nights that we spent together
C F G
I remember every single I love you
C G Am
Hell you're better off without me
Em F G
But I'll always have you
C G Am
In my heart and in my memory
Em F G
And I'll keep you there til my days are few
[Chorus]
F G Am
So lay your head down on this pillow
F G C
Let him hold you tight
F G C Em Am
Because he didn't hurt you the way I did
F G C
And I just wish I was him tonight
[Instrumental]
G Am Em F G
[Verse 2]
C G Am
And I heard you took up drinking
Em F G
I guess you learned that from me
C G Am
I was always gonna quit somehow
Em F G
When I started my family
C G Am
We were on the verge of that happiness
Em F G
Why did it have to end so soon
C G Am
Dad'll ever put this on a record
Em F G
It'll sound just right in a smoke filled room
[Chorus]
F G Am
So lay your head down on this pillow
F G C
Let him hold you tight
F G C Em Am
Because he didn't hurt you the way I did
F G C
And I just wish I was him tonight
[Instrumental]
Am Em F G
[Bridge]
F G Am
Wish I had a chance to go back
F G Am
If I did I'd make it right
F G Am
But I don't expect you to believe that
F G Am
After all you twice shy
F G C
And I'm still standing on the fighting side of time
[Chorus]
F G Am
So lay your head down on this pillow
F G C
Let him hold you tight
F G C Em Am
Because he didn't hurt you the way I did
F G C
And I just wish I was him tonight
[Outro]
Am Em F G C
