[Verse 1]
Hel[D]lo
Do you remember me
I am [Bm]your long lost pen pal
It [G]must have been ten [A]years
ago we last [D]wrote[A]
[D]I don't really know what happened
I [Bm]guess life came in the way
Let [G]me know if you're still [A]alive
Let [G]me know if you ever [A]used that

[D][Bm][G][A][D][A]

[Verse 2]
Hel[D]lo
Yes I remember you
I've got [Bm]a husband and two children now
I [G]work as an accountant and make
[A]fairly good [D]money[A]
[D]I still have your letters,
you used a pink [Bm]pen to write them
And [G]you would comfort [A]me
[D]Whe[A]n my tea[G]rs would stain the[A] ink[D]
[A]And I w[G]ould send you mix [A]tapes
with Kate [D]Bush on

[Verse 3]
[G]
I have to [A]admit I sometimes
[D]lied in those [A]letters
[Bm]Tried to make [A]life bet[G]ter than it was
I still wasn't [A]kissed at sixteen
And I still need [D]a friend
[A][Bm][A]

[G][A]

[Verse 4]
[D]There was this letter
I never [Bm]told you this back then
But [G]it would be fair to say
[A]it saved my lif[D]e[A]
[D]I sat in the window
The only one [Bm]left out
from a party again
Pretty [G]sure I didn't have
[A]a single friend
Then I checked the mail[D]box[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]Dear long lost penpal
I was ly[Bm]ing the whole time
I'm [G]really [A]a 46 years
old man named [D]Luke[A]
[D]I have three children
And a wife, [Bm]she doesn't care
And I [G]hope you don't [A]resent me
[D]And I h[A]ope[G] you do not hate[A] me
For try[G]ing to find my way back [A]to what
it's like to be young
[D][A]

[Verse 6]
[G]
I have to [A]admit I sometimes
[D]lied in those [A]letters
[Bm]Tried to make [A]life bet[G]ter than it was
I still wasn't [A]kissed at sixteen

And I still need [D]a friend[A]
