There's a bit of a pull on most of his D's, just listen to the song it's easy to pick up.

C                     E
When I wrote you that letter
Am                   G
You'd already made up your mind
C       Am                F#
All my words were writ in vain
C                E
When I called you up that day
Am                  G         C      Am     F#
I was only calling up to say hello
          C         E         Am      G
But goodbye
                   C                               Am       F#
Was the words that you'd been thinking 'bout for days

C                                           E
Didn't know that you were going to leave me
Am                                   G
Wish I knew the way to make you come home
Am                                 F#
What can I do if this is right for you

Am           C              G           D
I have not been perfect for you
 Am            C                 G      D
Know I think I was back at the start
Am             C             G          D
You have no more patience for me
Am                      C             G      D
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
C                    E
All those times I wasn't there
Am                      G
The times you thought I didn't care
C                Am                F#
I hope you can believe I thought of you
C                    E
Cause you were everything I needed
Am                                   G
I've been selfish and so self absorbed
E                       Am              F#
I thought that you'd be waiting when I reached the other side
C                    E             Am              G
Last night I put my arms around another woman's waist
C                        Am                F#
The touch was sweet but bitter while we danced

C                        E
Great love can bring greater pain
Am                  G
I hope I fall in love again
E               Am                 F#
What can I do if this is right for you



Am           C              G             D
I have not been perfect for you
 Am                 C               G      D
I like to think I was back at the start
Am             C            G         D
You have no more patience for me
Am                      C              G         D       F#
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart

(Lots of ladada with refrain chords)

E           Am
I want the best for you
C          F#                C
and now I realize that isn't me
           Am               C
I haven't been the man you need
            F#         E
I wish I'd been able to be
E          Am              C            F#               E
I'm sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired
        E                C                     Am            F#
And that I made you feel upset when you just made me feel inspired

Am           C              G        D
I have not been perfect for you
 Am                       C           G        D
I wish we could go back and just restart
Am             C              G         D
You have no more patience for me
Am                      C              G         D
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart

Drift apart

(lots of ladada to the refrain chords)
