Eight Letters Uke tab by Paul Baribeau

Verse: (palm mute heavily throughout)

      G                      
The first letter I wrote you was way too long
                                   C
Way too crazy, way too scary, way too sad
The second one I wrote you was way too short
                                           G
Just said, "I love you, baby, please come back."
The third one that I wrote you was right down the middle
                                   C
Somehow it didn't quite sum it all up.
The fourth one that I wrote you, I did the best that I could do
                                  G
We both know that was never good enough.


Chorus:

           Am
Oh, I had nothing nice to say,
   C
I said it anyway.
                              G
I made myself feel a little better
        Am
Oh, but in the end, I guess,
                         C
It was probably for the best
                                    G
That I never bothered sending you those letters.

G
The fifth one that I wrote you was one big, long joke
                                                            C                            
You probably wouldn't think was very funny

The sixth one that I wrote was a strictly business note
                                                                                    G
Requesting you pay me back that last two months rent money

The seventh one was magic, it was totally romantic
                                                                    C
it would have made your little boxer shorts melt

But the eighth time that I tried, I swear I couldn't even write.
                                                   G
I just curled up and cried all by myself

     Am
Oh, I had nothing nice to say,
   C
I said it anyway.
                              G
I made myself feel a little better
        Am
Oh, but in the end, I guess,
                         C
It was probably for the best
                                    G
That I never bothered sending you those letters.
