  N.C. G+G   G+G
(1 2 3 4)

Verse 1:
   G+G
I've always tried to understand
  G+G
The reason why our love must end
A minorAm             G+G
Why did she let me wait on our weekly Friday date?
A minorAm             D MajorD
  I've been waiting rather long
   FF              D MajorD
And I knew that something had gone wrong

Verse 2:
   G+G
I'll never forget those happy days
  G+G
Our love was growing in many ways
A minorAm                G+G
And when she sometimes said: "My love for you has made me bad"
A minorAm              D MajorD
  I just laughed and didn't see
     FF             D MajorD
That she meant she wasn't free like me

Chorus:
C majorC                G+G
Now I've got your letter and I'm feeling very blue
C majorC               G+G
Looking at the picture and the words you sent me too
A minorAm                G+G
This sweet little photograph just shows me everything
   E minorEm               FF         D MajorD   D MajorD
It's you with your husband and your kiddies snapped in spring
                  (2/4       )

Interlude:
G+G   G+G   G#G#   G#G#

Verse 3:
  G#G#
Now all at once I realize
  G#G#
The tears that I saw in her eyes
A#mA#m              G#G#
They were not always shed for happiness I thought she had
A#mA#m              D#D#
  They showed other feelings too
   F#F#            D#D#
Of a women who knew she was untrue

Outro:
   F#F#            D#D#
Of a women who knew she was untrue
   F#F#            D#D#   D#D#
Of a women who knew she was untrue
