Eight Letters Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

(palm mute heavily throughout)

 The fiGrst letter I wrote you was way too long

 Way too crazy, way too scary, way tCoo sad

The second one I wrote you was way too short

 Just said, "I love you, baby, please come bGack."

The third one that I wrote you was right down the middle

 Somehow it didn't quite sum it all Cup.

The fourth one that I wrote you, I did the best that I could do

 We both know that was never good eGnough.

Chorus

 Oh, I had nAmothing nice to say,

 I sCaid it anyway.

 I made myself feel a little beGtter

 Oh, but Amin the end, I guess,

 It was probably for the bCest

 That I never bothered sending you thGose letters.

The fifth one that I wrote you was one big, long joke

You probably wouldn't think was very funny

The sixth one that I wrote you was a strictly business note

Requesting you pay me back that last two months rent money

The seventh one was magic, it was totally romantic

it would have made your little boxer shorts melt

But the eighth time that I tried, I swear I couldn't even write.

I just curled up and cried all by myself

I had nothing nice to say,

I said it anyway.

I made myself feel a little better.

Oh, but in the end, I guess,

it was probably for the best

That I never sent you those letters.
