Chords

[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
