Verse 1
I'm gonna write (G major) a tear stained letter,
I'm gonna mail it straight to you. (D major)
I'm gonna bring back to your mind,
What you said about (E major) always being true. (A major)
Bout our secret (D major) hiding places;
Being daily satisfied. (G major)
I can see (D major) you sitting and reading it,
While you hang you head and cry.
I just hope you're not so sad,
You're gonna go (A major) down suicide. (D major)

I'm gonna write (G major) a tear stained letter:
Put it special deliv (D major) ery.
'Cause it's gonna be full of stuff,
That's only known (E major) to you and me. (A major)
'Bout how every time (D major)
I get turned on,
You turn me off and bring me down. (G major)
It'll be about (D major) the darkest news,
That ever did arrive in your hometown.
It'll be about the saddest thing,
Your mailman (A major) ever did bring around. (D major)
Verse 3
I'm gonna write (G major) a tear stained letter,
I'm gonna tell you one more time. (D major)
That you still could reconsider,
And come (E major) back to being mine. (A major)
An' if you think (D major) about what I'm saying,
It'd be hard to (A major) re (D major) fuse. (G major)
Just be sure (D major) you think a long time,
On the answer that you choose.
It will be a most important piece,
Of (A major) personal, private news.
(D major) (G major)

(D major)
I'm (G major) gonna write
Verse 4
a tear stained letter,
Mark it "Personal Private (D major) News."
An' I hope you'll keep it to yourself,
An' don't go (E major) 'round
crying the blues. (A major)
Giving off (D major) a bad impression,
As to what went really wrong. (G major)
When what it was (D major) was that suddenly,
The music was all gone.
And this man and this woman got cut off,
In the middle (A major) of our song. (D major)
Verse 5
I'm gonna write (G major) a tear stained letter,
I'm gonna put it to a tun (D major) e.
So I'll be sending with it,
A sweet melody (E major) for you. (A major)
And not some (D major) red-hot, upbeat zinger,
That'll set your body on (G major) fire.
But a hunk (D major) of love included,
Meant to take you a little higher.
And to settle on your sweet, sweet mind,
At (A major) night when you retire.
(D major) I'm gonna write
Verse 6
(G major) a tear stained letter.
