The Letter

[Intro] C  F7+  Am  G  F7+
        Am  G  F7+
        Am  G  C  F7+

           Am         G        F7+
Sweat, and blood, and ink I've spent
      Am       G     F7+
But I saved my tears
       Am          G       C
I won't  spring a leak for them

F7+       Am           G    F7+
  Sharply dressed and ill at ease
       Am      G       F7+
Like a sucker keen to please
             Am          G    C
The man, the boss, the teacher

C/B                       C

All the things you would have seen

Or the man you could have been
       Am       G       F7+  C  F7+
I would stand beside you
        Am        G       F7+
Now the hours and seconds crawl
       Am         G       F7+
Make me  question it all again
    Am         G       F7+    C
Why my son, my boy, my light?

    C/B
Someone sweet and kind, a lot like 
you

She'd  be  your everything
      G
And it could have saved you
