B
I've memorized it line for line
B Em Am G D
too bad that letter isn't mine, no

I've been counting the days
i promise you our secret will be safe

reading thru my tears
the beating of the letter is so clear

its too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
its so hard, here in this letter that you've found.
