"A" is for the apple that he gave to me,

G7    Eb      F           Bb
But I found a worm inside.

Cm7        F              Bb   *     G7  Eb     F       Bb
"B" is for beloved that I call to him before he left my side.

A#7           Bb   A#7    Eb
And “C”, see what he did, that’s “D”,

Eb        Cm   Eb  C7 
Did it to poor ol’ me.

How could I be such an “E”motional fool? ("F").


Cm7            F           Bb      *      G7
"G" is for the gentlemen I thought he was

Eb   F             Bb
When he first said hi- "H" "I".

Cm7          F             Bb *     G7  Eb      F       Bb
"J" is for the joker that is Jimmy B., the man who made me cry, that’s a "C".

    A#7
And “K”,

A#7                      Bb  A#7  Eb
Well, you know it’s just not okay

Eb               Cm     C7
To kiss and then run away,

Leaving alone without leaving a letter for “L”angtree.


CM7            F         Bb   *      G7
"M" is for the misery he left me in,

Eb           F    Bb
"N"ever to return again.

Cm7        F          Bb   *       G7 Eb           F        Bb
"O" what a poor ("P") fool I’ve been, "Q"ueuing in line for him.

A#7                  Bb  A#7 Eb
And “R”, are you the one for me?

Why are you tempted to “T”ease me? Ohh...


Cm7                    F       Bb *
You, "Y" not "U", have got to "U"nderstand,

G7  Eb         F       Bb
The value of a woman’s heart ("V")

Cm7                       F     Bb  *       G7  Eb     F        Bb
Why, “W” not “Y”, did you think it was fine to “X” me from the start?

A#7
And “Y”, yes “Y”,

A#7                   Bb  A#7 Eb
Is the question that’s on my mind.

Eb
Oh why,

Why did you leave me right before reaching our “Z”enith?


Cm7      F         Bb  *
1 is the number of men I’ve loved,

G7 Eb        F              Bb
And 2 is the times I’ll say it’s you (it’s you)!

Cm7      F              Bb     *
3 is the number of days you’ve been gone,

G7     Eb         F          Bb
But it feels like four times two.

A#7               Bb        Eb
8, at the hour the sun goes down,

Eb              Cm   Eb  C7
I remember life with you around.
