[Intro] A Dmaj7 [Verse 1]
   A
He shouted out his last word

       Dmaj7                A    Dmaj7
And he stumbled through the yard

        D                        A
And she shattered her last china plate

    Dmaj7           A    Dmaj7
And spun off in the car
[Verse 2]
        D       A7
When he lunged onto the hood

               Dmaj7
She stopped to tell him she'd been wrong

       A
He was thrown head over heels

         Dmaj7
Into the traffic coming on
[Pre-Chorus]
         A
But then all is fair

Dmaj7       A7      Amaj7
All is fair in love
[Chorus]

Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba

   Em7       A        Dmaj7        Gmaj7
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
       Gsus2             A7
Did you get my other letters

            Dmaj7               A  A7 Dmaj7
Sometimes I think I oughta call

           A                A7
'Cause you know I often wonder

       Dmaj7         A  A7 Dmaj7
If you open them at all
[Verse 4]
       A7
Every couple nights or so

    Dmaj7
You know you pop into my dreams

  A
I just can't get rid of you

    Dmaj7              A7
Like you got rid of me

          Dmaj7        A
Oh, but I send my best

                            Dmaj7
'Cause God knows you've seen my worst

        A
Well, I guess she made her way

           Dmaj7                          A Dmaj7
Through the mob too late to hear him say

           A
That he'd gotten all he'd wanted

 Dmaj7                             A
A crowd to watch him bear the pain

          Dmaj7
He'd been keeping in
(So what) So what [Pre-Chorus]
