You wouldn't read my letter if I [A] wrote you.
[B] You asked me not to call [F#] you.
[B] [E] Oh, oh.
There's something that I've been wanting [A] to tell you.
So [B] I wrote it in the words of [E] this song.
[A] Well, [E] didn't know God made love, we don't [A] think that.
[B] I might have known you'd never make [E] a wife.
You gave up the only one who ever [A] loved you.
And [B] went back to the wild [E] side of the line.

The glamour of a gay [G] [E] nightlife [A] has lured you
to the [B] places where the wine and liquor [E] flow.
Where you wait to be [A] anybody's darling
and [B] forget the truest love you ever [E] know.
Well, didn't know God made love, we [A] don't think that.
[B] I might have known you'd never make [E] a wife.
You gave up the only one who ever [A] loved you.
And [B] went back to the wild side [E] of the line.
And [B] went back to the wild side [E] of the line.
