Eb                        Ab
I hold this letter in my hand
                              Eb
A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
			 Ab
I hope it does as I have planned
					
Losing her again is more than I can bear
Eb 		             Ab
I kiss the cold, white envelope
                            Eb
I press my lips against her name
                              Ab
Two hundred words. We live in hope
                             Eb
The sky hangs heavy with rain

Eb                Ab
Love Letter Love Letter
Eb             Ab
Go get her Go get her
Eb                A
Love Letter Love Letter
Eb              Bb - Ab
Go tell her Go tell her

Eb                         Ab
A wicked wind whips up the hill
                     Eb
A handful of hopeful words
                        Ab
I love her and I always will
The sky is ready to burst
Eb                             
Said something I did not mean to say
Ab
Said something I did not mean to say
Eb
Said something I did not mean to say
Ab
It all came out the wrong way

Eb               Ab
Love Letter Love letter
Eb            Ab
Go get her Go get her
Eb               Ab
Love Letter Love letter
Eb             Bb - Ab
Go tell her Go tell her

Rain your kisses down upon me
Rain your kisses down in storms
And for all who'll come before me
In your slowly fading forms
I'm going out of my mind
Will leave me standing in
The rain with a letter and a prayer
Whispered on the wind

Bb           Ab
Come back to me
Bb           Ab
Come back to me
Bb     Ab          Bb      Eb
O baby please come back to me
