Dear Darlin, please excuse my writing. 
                            Em                       G       A 
I cant stop my hands from shaking cos Im cold and alone tonight. 
     D                         A 
I miss you and nothing hurts like no you. 
                             Em 
And no one understands what we went through. 
                             G     A 
It was short. It was sweet. We tried. 
 
           G                               A 
And if my words break through the wall and meet you 
at your door, all I Could say is: 
G                    A 
Girl, I mean them all.

Been thinking about the ball we dreamt. 
                          Em 
Feeling like the sofa was sinking. 
                               G   A 
I was warm in the hope of your eyes. 
 
   G                               A
