The mailman brought your letter, babe, where you told me how you feel

                    GG Piano Chord

You at least might have asked me

Your conclusions was esteemed [?]

Verse 2:

You said I disappointed you wherever all the things I've done
N that you had convinced yourself I was the only one
T really make you happy, satisfy your soul
Now you say I've failed you since we've spent up all my gold

Bridge 2:

Have you ever seen the truth, therefore
Have you ever made a try
Such a thing for you's so impossible
With them beans all in your eyes

Verse 3:

Whoa, I read where you said you want one good chance t really put
me down
N how you'd love t smear my name all over my home town
Said some Mouse made a fool of you n said don't waste a dime
Your phone is out of order now, babe, for me you've got no time

Bridge 3:

If this is really what you're thinkin'
That it's really, really all my fault
You better find yourself a welder, baby

So goodbye
Go on n have a real good cry

You better get yourself a welder, babe
Go on, get out of here...
