[Verse 1]
A I'm gonna Dwrite a tear stained letter, I'm gonna Amail it straight to you
A I'm gonna bring back to your mind, what you said about B7always bein' E7true
And how every Atime when I got turned on, you turn me Doff and bring me down
It'll be aAbout the darkest news, that ever arrived in your hometown
A It'll be about the saddest thing your mailman, E7ever did bring aAround
[Verse 2]
A I'm gonna Dwrite a tear stained letter, send it Aspecial delivery
A It's gonna be full of facts, that are only B7known to you and Eme
'Bout our Asecret hidin' places, bein' Ddaily satisfied
I can Asee you sittin' and readin' it, while you hang your head and cry
A I just hope you're not so sorry that, you Eend up suiAcide
