[Verse]
I'm going toG write a tear stained letter
I'm going to mDail it straight to you
I'm going to bDring back to your mind
What you said about aE7lways being tArue
About our Dsecret hiding places
Being daily satisGfied
I caDn see you sitting and reading it
While yoDu hang, you head and cry
I just hoDpe you're not so sad
You're going Ato go down suiDcide
I'm going toG write a tear stained letter
Put it spDecial delivery
Because it's Dgonna be full of stuff
That's only knE7own to you and Ame
About how everyD time I get turned on
You turn me off and bring me Gdown
It'll be aDbout the darkest news
That ever did Darrive in your hometown
It'll be Dabout the saddest thing
Your mailman eAver did bring aDround
I'm going to Gwrite a tear stained letter
I'm going to tell you one moreD time
That you sDtill could reconsider
And come E7back to being Amine
And if yoDu think about what I'm saying
It'd beD hard to rGefuse
Just be Dsure you think a long time
On the Danswer that you choose
It will be Da most important piece
Of persAonal, private Dnews
I'm going to Gwrite a tear stained letter
Mark it "Personal Private DNews"
And I hope yDou'll keep it to yourself
And don't E7go around crying the bAlues
Giving oDff a bad impression
As to whaDt went really wGrong
When wDhat it was, was that suddenly
The muDsic was all gone
And this Dman and this woman got cut off
In the miAddle of our Dsong
I'm going to Gwrite a tear stained letter
I'm going to put it to a Dtune
So I'll beD sending with it
A sweet E7melody for Ayou
And not some Dred-hot, upbeat zinger
That'll Dset your body on Gfire
But a hDunk of love included
Meant to tDake you a little higher
And to setDtle on your sweet, sweet mind
At nAight when you reDtire
[Outro]
G End on D
