[Am] [Bb] [Dm]
[Gm] [F] [Am]
[Bb] Why do [Dm] you treat me [Ab] as if I [G] were only [Cm] a friend?
[F] What have I done [Cm] that has made you [F] so distant [Bb] and cold?
[F] [Gm] [F]
[Bb] Sometimes [A] [Dm] I wonder [Fm] if you'll [Bb] be [Eb] contented again
[G] [Cm] Will [F] you [Eb] be happy [F]
[Cm] when you [F] are withered [Bb] and old?
[F] [Gm] [F] I [Bb] [Dm] cannot offer [Fm] you diamonds or [G] mansions [Cm] so fine
I [F] cannot offer you [Cm] all [F] the riches [Bb] you crave
[F]
[Bb] But [Dm] if you say that you [Fm] long to [Bb] forever [D]
[Eb] be [Cm] mine
Thank [F] God the teardrops, [Cm] the heartaches [F] and sorrow [Bb] you'll save
When [F]
[Fm] [Cm] [F] [Cm]
[Bb] [Dm]
[Gm] [F] [Cm] [A]
[Bb] you [Dm] are weary [Fm] and tired [G] of another [Cm] one's gold
When
[F] you are lonely, [Cm] then think of [F] this letter, [Bb] my own
[F] [Cm] [F] Oh, [Bb] but don't try [Dm] to answer, [Fm] though I've [Bb] suffered anguish
[Eb] [Gm] untold
[Cm]
[F] If you don't love me, [Cm] then why don't [F] you leave [Bb] me alone?
[F] [Cm] Now [A]
[Bb] as I [Dm] am writing [Ab] this letter, [Fm] [G] I think of [Cm] the past
And [F] all the promises [Cm]
that [Eb] you are [F] breaking [Bb] so free
[F] [G] [Am]
[Bb] But to [Dm] this old world, [Fm] I'll soon say [Bb] my [Eb] farewells at [Gm] last
[Cm] I [F] will be gone when [Cm] you read this [F] last letter [Dm]
from [Gb] me
[Bb]
