Paper And Pen

G                     D        G            C
There's a letter in a shoe box in a dresser she keeps locked
G                                   D
But she's never read it all the way through
G                      D          G                   C
It was the last one he wrote her, she was sure it was over
G                                D             G
From all that he told her in the first line or two
G                 D                  G              C
He said times are hard now, got some things left to sort out
G                                      D
And a man and his freedom don't easily part
G                       D        G            C
That's were she stopped reading, her soul was bleeding
G                           D            G
So she chose her weapon and went for his heart

G            D                           G
With paper and pen she got her last word in
G             A                     D
I never loved you was lie she wrote him
              C                      G
He couldn't believe the reply he'd received
G            C
What sad tragedy for good love to end
               G
Ah who needs a knife when you can
G              D                   G
Take someone's life with paper and pen


G                      D      G             C
Well, they say he went crazy, in just a few days he
G                                     D
Got on the bottle and went out of his mind
G            D              G                  C
To this day, she don't know in the letter that he wrote
G                            D         G
He asked for her hand in the very last line


G            D                           G
With paper and pen she got her last word in
G             A                     D
I never loved you was lie she wrote him
              C                      G
He couldn't believe the reply he'd received
G            C
What sad tragedy for good love to end
               G
Ah who needs a knife when you can
               D                   G
Take someone's life with paper and pen
C              G
Ah who needs a knife when you can
               D                   G
