Electric 12-string [repeated at end of each verse, transposed

/ / / / / / / /

  Some words are best not spoken, some things are best not said

Verse 1

  The mailman brought your letter, babe, where you told me how you feel

  N about the things he said he told you, that is, I'm such a heel

  But I could never be honest that t you I've always lied

  When he saw me take some other hide for a two-wheel pony ride

Bridge 1

  You at least might have asked me

  If the scene was really what it seemed

  But like a queen ruled by her jester

  Your conclusions was esteemed [?]

Verse 2

You said I disappointed you wherever all the things I've done

N that you had convinced yourself I was the only one

T really make you happy, satisfy your soul

Now you say I've failed you since we've spent up all my gold

Bridge 2

Have you ever seen the truth, therefore

Have you ever made a try

Such a thing for you's so impossible

With them beans all in your eyes

Verse 3

Whoa, I read where you said you want one good chance t really put

me down

N how you'd love t smear my name all over my home town

Said some Mouse made a fool of you n said don't waste a dime

Your phone is out of order now, babe, for me you've got no time

Bridge 3

If this is really what you're thinkin'

That it's really, really all my fault

You better find yourself a welder, baby

  'Cause you got locked up in your vault

[key change to Db]

Verse 4

  Yeah, you got your point put over now, it seems you found a match

  Burn the bridge behind you, babe, slam your door, throw the latch

  I know just how you're hurtin' from your feelings as they burn

  I'd like t say I'm sorry, but it's no longer my concern

Coda

[rant over Db-Gb-Ab-Gb to fade]

So goodbye

Go on n have a real good cry

I've found me a brand new high

She just loves a two-wheel pony ride

You better get yourself a welder, babe

Go on, get out of here...
