E7    A  E7


[Verse 1]
  A           E7           A     A7
I waited each day for your letter
  D                           A    A7
Although I knew what it would cause
     D                     A
But, dear, when it came, I knew that your game
         E7                        A   E7
Had been won and I knew that I had lost


[Chorus]
      A             E7        A     A7
But I just couldn't open your letter
  D                        A  A7
I know you're no longer my own
    D                 A               A7
The moment it came, I wrote 'neath my name
      E7                             A    E7
These heartbreakin' words, address unknown


[Verse 2]
  A         E7        A     A7
I wanted to open your letter
   D                        A    A7
To see if you missed me sometimes
    D                 A         A7
But you have a way of makin' me pay
         E7                              A    E7
'Cause I know what you write between the lines


[Chorus]
      A             E7        A     A7
But I just couldn't open your letter
  D                        A  A7
I know you're no longer my own
    D                 A               A7
The moment it came, I wrote 'neath my name
      E7                             A    E7
These heartbreakin' words, address unknown


[Instrumental Break]
A  E7  A  A7  D    A  A7
D    A  A7  E7    A  E7


[Verse 3]
    A           E7             A  A7
You know I'd be so glad to see you
   D                             A   A7
In spite of the hurt that you've done
    D                  A             A7
But deep down inside I can't lose my pride
       E7                              A  E7
And forgive you just 'cause you're the one


[Chorus]
      A             E7        A     A7
But I just couldn't open your letter
  D                        A  A7
I know you're no longer my own
    D                 A               A7
The moment it came, I wrote 'neath my name
      E7                             A    E7
These heartbreakin' words, address unknown
