Dear Eloise, I am writing to say

   D         C                      D
A number of funny things I heard today

   D               C            D           C
I heard that he's left you and gone off to sea

  D           C                             D   C   D   N.C.
Could be the best thing that's happened to me

Writing a letter to make you feel better

 G                     D
Sorry to hear that he left you that way

I coulda told you he was much older

So much older than you
[Verse 2]
D                         A
You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly

  G                              D
Until he found out what he could get from you

    D                  A
You shoulda departed before he got started

G                                   D
Now you've been burned, just like I said you would
[Bridge]

Please read my letter closely

It's beneficial to you

F#7                                G                A
Must read in between the lines, a message you will see

F#7                                 G                 A
If you use your mind you'll find I want you back with me
