A6 C/D A6 C/D

You have one letter left to send

A6 C/D A6 C/D

With no beginning and no end

D C

You saw them in the park

D C A6

The laughter in the dark, oh no

C/D A6 C/D

How can you face him and pretend

Gm7 Am7 Gm7

So now you thank him carefully, oh no

Am7 Gm7

'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no

Am7 D C D C

I hope you find some reason to be free

A6 C/D A6 C/D

There is no sunshine in your eyes

A6 C/D A6 C/D

You make no sound and yet you cry

D C

It's not the double cross

D C A6

You feel the love you lost, oh no

C/D A6 C/D

This letter has to say goodbye

Gm7 Am7 Gm7

So now you thank him carefully, oh no

Am7 Gm7

'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no

Am7 D C D C

I hope you find some reason to be free

A6 C/D

(repeat 4 times)

D C

You saw them in the park

D C A6

The laughter in the dark, oh no

How can you face him and pretend

Gm7 Am7 Gm7

So now you thank him carefully, oh no

Am7 Gm7

'Cause that's the way he's going to be, oh no

Am7 D C D C

I hope you find some reason to be free
