_ Why [Eb] _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ [Bb] _
_ do you treat me _ as if I were only a [F] friend?
[C] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _

[Bbm] [Bb] I cannot offer you diamonds _ and a mansion so [F] fine. _ _ _ _ _ _
I cannot offer you _ _ clothes that your young body [Bb] _ craves.
_ But _ _ _ if you will say that you long to forever [Fm] _ [Bb]
[Eb] be mine. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ Think of the heartaches, the tears and the sorrow _ _

[F] _ I will be gone when you read this last letter [Bb] from me. _ _ _ _ _
