-------------------------------------------

Hook = verse chords

Verse1:

E

It was three in the morning when she tore me apart

A

She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my heart

E

She danced on my head like Arthur Murray

A

The scars ain't never gonna mend in a hurry

D

Just when I thought that things might get better

G

Right through the door come a Tear-stained letter.

Chorus: (2x)

B7 C

Oh Oh, Oh, love, love

D

Cry, cry if it makes you feel better

G

Set it all down in a Tear-stained letter

(Hook)

Verse2:

Well my head was beating like a song from the clash,

It was writing checks that my body couldn't cash.

Got to my feet, I was a-reelin' and dizzy,

Went for the phone but the line was busy.

Just when I thought I might learn to forget her

Right through the door come a Tear-stained letter.

(Chorus) (Instrumental solos over Chorus chords)

(hook)

Verse3:

Well, I like coffee, I like tea,

But I just don't like this fiddle-dee-dee

It makes nervous, it gives me the hives

Waitin' on get a kiss for a bunch of lives

Just when I thought that things might get better

Right through the door come a Tear-stained letter.

(Chorus) (Instrumental solos over Chorus chords)

(Chorus) (hook, to end)
