[Verse 1]
GmI wrote you a letter Return tBbo sender
GmI tried your number But you wont take mBby call
GmNow im back here on the street Near the place we used to Bbmeet
CmFeelin like my back’s against the Fwall
[Chorus]
I could write Eba book Tell the world the way I feel aBbbout you
Would you even Cmlook At anything I have to Bbsay?
I could write a booEbk Telling how it’s hard to live Bbwithout you
Ever since you tCmook My heart Bbaway
[Verse 2]
GmSleep don’t easy To a heart tBbhat’s broken
GmNow I toss and turn and pace Bbthe floors at night
GmBut you fill up all my dreams Oh I wake uBbp and it seems
CmThat’s the only place I’ll ever get to hold Fyou tight
[Chorus]
I could write Eba book Tell the world the way I feel aBbbout you
Would you even Cmlook At anything I have to Bbsay?
I could write a booEbk Telling how it’s hard to live Bbwithout you
Ever since you tCmook My heart Bbaway
[Verse 3]
GmSometimes I ain’t lonely all Bbby myself
SometiGmmes I keep busy at least for Bba little while
GmSometimes my heart’s a stone And I’m so glad to be Bbalone
CmBut most times I’m haunted by your sFmile
[Chorus]
I could write Eba book Tell the world the way I feel aBbbout you
Would you even Cmlook At anything I have to Bbsay?
I could write a booEbk Telling how it’s hard to live Bbwithout you
Ever since you tCmook My heart Bbaway
