VERSE:
D# G# D# D#
We've been trading letters now forever
Cm G# D# D#
And I've been on this job for much too long
A# D#
But one of these days, I'ma
A# D#
I'm gonna get paid, then I'll
G# G# D# A# A#
I'll finally bring a little money home
PRE-CHORUS:
D# G# D# D#
And now I'm not so sure I shoulda left you
Cm G# D# D#
'Cause now I'm not so sure you'll want me back
A# D#
And even though we trade these letters
A# D#
And each one makes me feel a bit better
G# D# A#
There's something I would like to send instead

Cm G#
And when I close my eyes,

I can almost hear you

singing me a country love song,

Before I left your side

Just tell me that you want me back now
Cm
And I'll be alri-i-ight
