Why [E]
do you treat me as if I were only [B] a friend?
What have I done [B] that has made you so distant [E] and cold?
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented [A] again.
[B] Will you be happy when you are wither [E] and old?
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions [B] so fine.
I cannot offer you clothes your young [E] body craves.
But if you say that you long to forever [A] be mine.
[B] Think of the heartaches, the tears and the [E] sorrows you've saved.
While I am writing this letter, I think [B] of the past.
And of the promises that you are breaking [E] so free.
But to this cruel world, I'll soon say my farewell [A] at last.
[B] I will be gone when you read this last letter [E] from me.
When you are lonely and tired of another [B] man's gold.
When you are lonely, remember this letter, [E] my own.
Don't try to answer, though I'll suffer [A] anguish untold.
[B] If you don't love me, I wish you would leave me alone.
[E] [Bm] [E]
