Intro:
   N.C.  G     G
(1 2 3 4)

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

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

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

G     G     G#     G#

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

     F#                       D#

Of a women who knew she was untrue
