INTRO

Ab Db Eb Fm Gm
Verse 1
I picked up a letter that was lying on the table, Ab Db Eb Ab
The address was right, but there was a wrong name on the label. Ab Db Eb Fm
So I opened it up, and I read as I was able, Ab Db Eb Ab
About my own love, like a storybook fable. Ab Db Eb Fm
He told me he loved me, he said I was the one. Ab Db Eb Ab
He promised I was his last thought when everyday was done. Ab Db Eb Fm
He promised me moons, and stars, said he’d steal the sun, Ab Db Eb Ab
But he stole my heart with those words, and he had just begun. Ab Db Eb Fm Gm
Chorus
I got a love letter, that wasn’t addressed to me. Db Fm Eb Ab
But I keep it by my heart ’cause I’m so d***** lonely. Db Fm Eb Ab
And I imagine that I’m her and those words were for me. Db Fm Eb (STOP)

Verse 2
He said he was sorry, and wished that he was here. Ab Db Eb Ab
He said when he closed his eyes, my image was still clear. Ab Db Eb Fm
He told me not to cry, he’d kiss away my tears. Ab Db Eb Ab
And never to doubt for a moment that his love was sincere. Ab Db Eb Fm Gm
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
And I’ll keep this feeling inside cause there’s no one I could tell, Fm Eb Db Ab
And I’ll keep his letter as a reminder of when I fell. Fm Eb Db Ab
And as the darkness comes I’ll write to him myself, Fm Eb Db Ab
I’ll write his name on the front, but I’ll make up the address as well. Ab Db Eb Fm Gm
Chorus 2 Db Fm Eb Ab
I got a love letter, that wasn’t addressed to me.
But I keep it by my heart ’cause I’m so damned lonely.
And I imagine that I’m her, and I imagine that I’m her,
And I wish that I was her and those words were for me.
