Dear Marie

    Em   D          C            Gb/D
Dear Marie, you were right about me
     Em   D          C               Gb/D
Dear Marie, you were right, you were right


[Verse 1]
   Em
I should have been kinder
  D
I surely knew better
    C
Not much of a writer
        Gb/D
But I'm sending a letter
   Em
I hope it finds you
    D
In love and at peace
           C
Don't need much of your time
         Gb/D
For this apology
         Em  D          C            Gb/D
Oh, Dear Marie, you were right about me
     Em   D         C                Gb/D
Dear Marie, you were right, you were right


[Hook]
              Em                 D          C       Gb/D
You said that I could leave you lonely in a crowded room
   Em                 D            C         Gb/D
By smiling bright for everyone but you
        Em                 D              C         Gb/D
And I'm embarrassed to confess it, but it all rings true
              Em                D       C         Gb/D
You said that charm of mine was easy to abuse


[Verse 2]
           Em
And if I'm so smart
          D
How can I learn so slow
            C
You had the hard part
          Gb/D
I was the last to know
          Em
I let the flash blind me
    D
The years pass by
C                Gb/D
Standing in your light for most of the time
      Em
And I did it, I kissed him
  D
I knew it would hurt you
       C
But it put down my loneliness
    Gb/D
And that felt like virtue enough


[Bridge 1]
Em          D        C
I know it's much too late
           Gb/D         Em
No need to reply (Dear Marie)
         D      C
I put us all at stake
           Gb/D
Marie, you were right


[Hook]
              Em                D           C       Gb/D
You said that I could leave you lonely in a crowded room
        Em                 D            C        Gb/D
Just by smiling bright for everyone but you
          Em              D               C         Gb/D
And I'm embarrassed to confess it, but it all rings true
              Em                D           C       Gb/D
You said that charm of mine was easy to abuse


[Bridge 2]
     Em
I've had one too many
   D
It takes quite a few
    C
Was counting my losses
Gb/D                          Em
Wasn't sure if I should count you
                D        C
And I know it's much too late
           Gb/D           Em
No need to reply (Dear Marie)
         D      C
I put us all at stake
                  Gb/D
Marie, you were
                Em      D C Gb/D
Marie, you were right
