B                       F#        B  
I could tell you I came by to say hello  
                    F#                    B  B7 
But I knew good and well that you weren't home  
E 
Now these lines I write  
     B 
Will reach you by midnight  
                   F#    G#m   E  
Tell you that it's over, anyhow  
B              F#                B 
Sincerely, too late to turn back now  
B                   F#           B 
Blue words on white paper find a way  
                    F#               B  B7 
To say what I'm not strong enough to say  
     E 
If I stay to say goodbye  
B                  
Someone's bound to cry  
                             F#                 G#m E 
And I don't think that I can stand to hear that sound  
B              F#             B 
Sincerely, too late turn back now  
 
SOLO 
F# 
I don't need to sign my name  
E                       B 
Cause you know me by now  
C# 
And I won't have to take the blame  
     F# 
When tears come falling down  
B                    F#            G#m  E 
I just ain't got the heart to hang around  
B              F#                 G#m  E 
Sincerely, too late to turn back now  
B      F#              B 
P.S. I guess I let you down
