Eight Letters
From the album "Unbearable," 2010

Simple, awesome song. Enjoy :3

Verse: (palm mute heavily throughout)

   G+G
The first letter I wrote you was way too long
                  C majorC
Way too crazy, way too scary, way too sad
The second one I wrote you was way too short
                      G+G
Just said, "I love you, baby, please come back."
The third one that I wrote you was right down the middle
                  C majorC
Somehow it didn't quite sum it all up.
The fourth one that I wrote you, I did the best that I could do
                 G+G
We both know that was never good enough.

Chorus:

      A minorAm
Oh, I had nothing nice to say,
  C majorC
I said it anyway.
               G+G
I made myself feel a little better
    A minorAm
Oh, but in the end, I guess,
             C majorC
It was probably for the best
                  G+G
That I never bothered sending you those letters.


The fifth one that I wrote you was one big, long joke
You probably wouldn't think was very funny
The sixth one that I wrote you was a strictly business note
Requesting you pay me back that last two months rent money
The seventh one was magic, it was totally romantic
it would have made your little boxer shorts melt
But the eighth time that I tried, I swear I couldn't even write.
I just curled up and cried all by myself

I had nothing nice to say,
I said it anyway.
I made myself feel a little better.
Oh, but in the end, I guess,
it was probably for the best
That I never sent you those letters.
