Intro:
G Gdim C C7 (x2)

Verse 1:
     G                         Gdim
Been living hand-to-mouth for a year or better
        C                    C7
When the mailman comes and he brings me your letter
     G                         Gdim
And I recognize the handwriting even now
      C                   C7
But I go ahead and open it anyhow, yeah
  G                               B
and no one's been buying from my roadside stand
      C                      D
so I hold your letter like a cross in my hand

Chorus:
        G                     Dsus4 Cadd9
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
          G                   Dsus4 Cadd9
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
G                             Am F#m
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
       G Gdim C C7 (x2)
In you

Verse 2:
       G
I went out into the kitchen
Gdim                              C
Where the light comes through the four-paneled window
C7
Clear and bright
        G                          Gdim
And it's taken me several years to realize
          C                     C7
How much I like the way that you dot your i's
            G                     B
Well I was born in Indiana thirty years ago
        C                 D
I got a mean, mean hunger down below


Chorus:
         G                    Cadd9 Dsus4
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
         G                    Dsus4 Cadd9
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
         G                    B C D
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
   G   Dsus4 Cadd9
in you

G Gdim C C7 (x2)
