I know you wrote me so many letters letters that never arrived Every trip to the mailbox meant so much more Knowing what wasn't inside I know you thought so many words Words you swallowed whole Just like the birds, it's true of your words They mean more when you let 'em go (chorus:) Any old girl can think she's in love And spit out the words right there But it takes a special kind of heartfelt woman To act like she never did care I know you wrote me a poem I saw you burning it last night You must have spent weeks on the words Still couldn't get 'em right I know you would have held my hand If you were the hand-holding type Instead you just put yours a hair's breadth away And left it there all through the night (chorus) ---------- guitar chords: GaCG eCD GaCG CDG aCGe CGD ----------
