[Bb]
[F] [Bb] I'm a girl
[Eb] I'm a girl
[Ab]
[F] It was three in the morning when she took me [Bb] apart
She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my [F] heart
She danced with my head like it was the [Bb] mercy
The scars ain't never gonna mend, my honey
[Eb] Just when I thought I could learn to [Ab] forget her
Right through the door come a tear Stained [C] letters
Oh, oh, [Db]
[Eb] oh
Cry like cry, but it makes you feel [Ab] better
Set it on down, a tear Stained [C] letters
Oh, oh, oh
[Db]
[Eb] Cry like cry, but it makes you feel [Ab] better
Set it on down, a tear Stained [F] letters
[Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F] When my head was beating like a somebody's [Bb] ass
She was writing checks that my body couldn't [F] cast
I got to my feet, I was a-reeling the [Bb] desert
I went for the phone, but the line was [Eb] dizzy
Just when I thought that the things would get [Ab] better
Right through the door come a tear Stained [C] letters
Oh, oh, oh
[Db]
[Eb] Cry like cry, but it makes you feel [Ab] better
Set it on down, a tear Stained [C] letters

Set it on down, a tear Stained [C] letters
[Db]
[Eb]
[C] [Db]
[Eb] [Abm]
[F] Not hot like coffee, and hot like tea
[Bb] But I just don't like the feeling you [F] do
It makes me nervous and gives me the [Bb] high
I was waiting for a kiss from a bunch of guys
[Eb] Just when I thought I could learn to forget [Ab] her
Right through the door come a tear Stained [C] letters
Oh, oh, oh
[Db]
[Eb] Cry like cry, but it makes you feel [Ab] better
Set it on down, a tear Stained [C] letters
