Letters That Cross In The Mail Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]
[C]Last month

[Verse 1]
[F]while thinking of love
I wrote [C]her some words
and mailed [Cm]them away
But [Csus4]the nex t[C] day, I [F]found at my door
A let[C]ter from Spain she'd
[Gm]sent long before
And [Dm]her note read

[Verse 2]
"I haven't [Em]heard from you in weeks
I must as[Am]sume that you
no longer care
[G]Too bad, [F]that's it, goodbye"
It's just amaz[C]ing how lov
[F]ing can fail
From let[E]ters that cross in
[G]the mail
[Bm][D][Am]

[Verse 3]
A life, [D]a love, a chance [Am]to win [D]it all
[Am]Can pass you b[G]y in the fog u[D]nsee[G]n
[F#m]You th[Abm]ink yo[Am]u'll find
your fate tomorrow [D]night
And it find[Am]s som[Bb]ebod[Dm]y else
in [D]between
[Gm][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]I sat with swords i[F]n my heart
And pen [C]in my hand
I wrote,
"I'm [Cm]glad that we're through"
Full of [Csus4]hate, I m[C]ailed it
[F]But then in a week a let[C]ter arrived
With love [Gm]did it speak

[Verse 5]
[Gm]And [Dm]her note read
"I love [Em]the tender words you sent
It seems [Am]I've wronged
you, please forgive me
I'll [F]return, my ship leaves soon"
But God,
I know [C]now [F]that she'll never sail
Our let[E]ters were crossed in
[Am]the mail[D]

[Outro 1]
