Intro
Bm A G Db/A
Dear Marie, you were right about me
Bm A G Db/A
Dear Marie, you were right, you were right
[Verse 1]
Bm
I should have been kinder
A
I surely knew better
G
Not much of a writer
Db/A
But I'm sending a letter
Bm
I hope it finds you
A
In love and at peace
G
Don't need much of your time
Db/A
For this apology
Bm A G Db/A
Oh, Dear Marie, you were right about me
Bm A G Db/A
Dear Marie, you were right, you were right
[Hook]
Bm A G Db/A
You said that I could leave you lonely in a crowded room
Bm A G Db/A
By smiling bright for everyone but you
Bm A G Db/A
And I'm embarrassed to confess it, but it all rings true
Bm A G Db/A
You said that charm of mine was easy to abuse
[Verse 2]
Bm
And if I'm so smart
A
How can I learn so slow
G
You had the hard part
Db/A
I was the last to know
Bm
I let the flash blind me
A
The years pass by
G Db/A
Standing in your light for most of the time
Bm
And I did it, I kissed him
A
I knew it would hurt you
G
But it put down my loneliness
Db/A
And that felt like virtue enough
[Bridge 1]
Bm A G
I know it's much too late
Db/A Bm
No need to reply (Dear Marie)
A G
I put us all at stake
Db/A
Marie, you were right
[Hook]
Bm A G Db/A
You said that I could leave you lonely in a crowded room
Bm A G Db/A
Just by smiling bright for everyone but you
Bm A G Db/A
And I'm embarrassed to confess it, but it all rings true
Bm A G Db/A
You said that charm of mine was easy to abuse
[Bridge 2]
Bm
I've had one too many
A
It takes quite a few
G
Was counting my losses
Db/A Bm
Wasn't sure if I should count you
A G
And I know it's much too late
Db/A Bm
No need to reply (Dear Marie)
A G
I put us all at stake
Db/A
Marie, you were
Bm A G Db/A
Marie, you were right
