Verse 1
D 
G 
Today I saw her for the first time
since she left me.
A 
And she said, I got a favor to ask of you.
D 
And I said, all right, what is it?
A 
And she said, you know,
you always told me
G 
D 
if I ever needed any help,
just to ask you and that you'd help me.
G 
And I said, yeah, I remember.
A 
and she said well there's this
fella that I've been going with
D 
and I just found out
that he's been slipping around on me
and I thought that maybe
if you'd write me a letter
G 
and tell me that you miss me
and that you still love me
that he might find it
A 
and he might read it
and it might make him jealous
and I might not lose him.
D 
An d I said, OK. I'll write
G 
A 
D 
A 
D 
you the letter.
Dear Sweetheart,
A 
just a line to let you know
D 
that I still think about you,
and I still love you so.
I remember your kisses.
A 
and every time you held me tight
but most of all I remember the good times
that we had each night
dear sweetheart if you're
lonely just let me know
D 
for you're still my one and only
Bm 
A 
D 
and I still love you so I'm
gonna close for now sweetheart,
and try to go on without you.
But don't forget, I'll always love you,
G 
D 
G 
no matter what you do.
So now, I've written the letter,
A 
the way you've asked me to,
D 
and I hope it makes him jealous,
A 
the way you want it to.
For I've told you that I still love you,
and I want to be with you.
But you know, the saddest part,
A 
I'm not pretending,
A 
D 
A 
for I still do.
You
