[Verse]
My [Edim7]Baby [Ebdim7]wrote me a [Cdim7]letter [C#dim7]
She didn't[Edim7]call me [Ebdim7]on the [Cdim7]phone [C#dim7]
[Edim7]Five little [Edim7]words is [Cdim7]all she [C#dim7]wrote
[A]See ya [E]later I'm [A]gone [A][E]
[Verse]
She had no explanation
About why she had to go
Well I can't take a joke
But I can take a hint
She don't love me no more
[Chorus]
But if D7nobody Db7loves you
And you F#mfeel like dust on an bmempty B7shelf
just reAmember, EYou can love yourAself
[Verse]
My mother says she loves me
But you know she could be jivin' too
And everybody's always criticizing
everything that I do
[Verse]
I work 9 to 5, do the best I can
try to plese the boss
I bought a big ol' house
and a brand new car
and then he laid me off
[Chorus]
[Verse]
Everytime I meet a lady
I wanna try to get to know
Either I'm too small or
she's too tall
she's rich and I'm po'
[Verse]
So I called my old
friend Hazel Mae
asked her out for a little date
She said,"I'm married now and
I got three little kids,
boy ya just a little too late."
CHORUS  twice
("Nice to meet me...")
