B5                       F#5        B5  
I could tell you I came by to say hello  
                    F#5                    B5  B5 
But I knew good and well that you weren't home  
E5 
Now these lines I write  
     B5 
Will reach you by midnight  
                   F#5    G#5   E5  
Tell you that it's over, anyhow  
B5              F#5                B5 
Sincerely, too late to turn back now  
B5                   F#5           B5 
Blue words on white paper find a way  
                    F#5               B5  B5 
To say what I'm not strong enough to say  
     E5 
If I stay to say goodbye  
B5                  
Someone's bound to cry  
                             F#5                 G#5 E5 
And I don't think that I can stand to hear that sound  
B5              F#5             B5 
Sincerely, too late turn back now  
 
SOLO 
F#5 
I don't need to sign my name  
E5                       B5 
Cause you know me by now  
C#5 
And I won't have to take the blame  
     F#5 
When tears come falling down  
B5                    F#5            G#5  E5 
I just ain't got the heart to hang around  
B5              F#5                 G#5  E5 
Sincerely, too late to turn back now  
B5      F#5              B5 
P.S. I guess I let you down
