said
              C               
        But since this is your

Verse 1:

              C                 
        The mailman brought your 
  F                       G       
letter, babe, where you told me 
        F
how you feel
            C                   F 
        N about the things he said
                   G             
 he told you, that is, I'm such a 
  F
heel
            C                 F   
        But I could never be 
          G               F
honest that t you I've always lied
                 C              
        When he saw me take some 
  F                               G
other hide for a two-wheel pony ride

         F                     
        You at least might have 
  G
asked me
                 F                 
        If the scene was really 
      G
what it seemed
                     C         F  
        But like a queen ruled by 
     C
her jester
              F             
        Your conclusions was 
    G
esteemed [?]

Verse 2:

        You said I disappointed you 
wherever all the things I've done
        N that you had convinced 
yourself I was the only one
        T really make you happy, 
satisfy your soul
        Now you say I've failed you 
since we've spent up all my gold

Bridge 2:

        Have you ever seen the 
truth, therefore
        Have you ever made a try
        Such a thing for you's so 
impossible
        With them beans all in your 
eyes

Verse 3:

        Whoa, I read where you said 
you want one good chance t really 
put
             me down
        N how you'd love t smear my 
name all over my home town
        Said some Mouse made a fool 
of you n said don't waste a dime
        Your phone is out of order 
now, babe, for me you've got no time

Bridge 3:

        If this is really what 
you're thinkin'
        That it's really, really all
 my fault
        You better find yourself a 
welder, baby
        (C)             F         
        'Cause you got locked up 
         G      Ab
in your vault

        [key change to Db]

Verse 4:

                  Db               
        Yeah, you got your point 
   Gb           Ab                
put over now, it seems you found a 
Gb
match
         Db                Gb     
        Burn the bridge behind 
                   Ab              
you, babe, slam your door, throw 
Gb
the latch
           Db                 
        I know just how you're 
  Gb                Ab            
hurtin' from your feelings as they
   Gb
 burn
             Db             Gb    
        I'd like t say I'm sorry, 
                          Ab
but it's no longer my concern

        So goodbye
        Go on n have a real good cry
        I've found me a brand new 
high
        She just loves a two-wheel 
pony ride
        You better get yourself a 
welder, babe
        Go on, get out of here...
