F#m G D Dsus2
F#mDear Gcousin, I got your DletterDsus2  
GIt was F#mmore than i thought i deEmserved
F#mWell she sounds Gperfect, all I Ddream ofDsus2  
And I Gdream about so F#mmuch it is abEmsurd
CBut when I get there and she Bmsees me
CI'll be impressed if she does Dnot run screaming
GMy kind of F#mlove is an Emugly DloveDsus2  
But it's Greal and it F#mlasts a long, long Emtime
F#m G D Dsus2
I had a thought while I was sleeping
And i dreamed about a place for us to rest
Eternity under the old oak tree
But i go too far I guess
Maybe I'll think about tomorrow
And maybe I can get her to stay that long
'cause my kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
And if she finds me so repulsive
She wouldn't be the first to wretch
Well I decided one day long ago
I was never gonna be the greatest catch
And if she cares about the car I drive
Then she can get in hers
The moment I arrive
'cause my kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
F#m G D Dsus2
 F#m   G   D   Dsus2(end cold)
