[verse 1]
D C
I wish the telephone had not been invented
G
Because I keep picking it up to say
D
Stupid things to you
Am
The rain has stopped for now
G
But I know it's not ended
[pre-chorus]
D
No sense in trying
D
I cannot be protected
C
No sense in worrying
C
I can't be protected
D
No sense in trying
D
I cannot be protected
C
Yeah
[chorus]
Em D
Wonderful and sad
Am
How can you be so?
G D
Wonderful
[verse 2]
D C
I wish that happiness could just be pretended
G
The closest thing to that is
D
A bottle of whiskey, dear
Am
I'd write a letter home
G
But I don't know where to send it
[pre-chorus]
D
No sense in trying
D
I cannot be protected
C
No sense in worrying
C
I can't be protected
D
No sense in trying
D
I cannot be protected
C
Yeah
[chorus]
Em D
Wonderful and sad
Am
How can you be so?
G D
Wonderful
