Hook = verse chords

Verse1:
       E 
It was three in the morning when she tore me apart
    A 
She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my heart
    E
She danced on my head like Arthur Murray
    A 
The scars ain't never gonna mend in a hurry
D
Just when I thought that things might get better
G
Right through the door come a Tear-stained letter.

Chorus: (2x)
B7     C
Oh Oh, Oh, love, love
D        
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
G
Set it all down in a Tear-stained letter

(Hook)
Verse2:
Well my head was beating like a song from the clash,
It was writing checks that my body couldn't cash.
Got to my feet, I was a-reelin' and dizzy,
Went for the phone but the line was busy.
Just when I thought I might learn to forget her
Right through the door come a Tear-stained letter.
(Chorus) (Instrumental solos over Chorus chords)
(hook)

Verse3:
Well, I like coffee, I like tea,
But I just don't like this fiddle-dee-dee
It makes nervous, it gives me the hives
Waitin' on get a kiss for a bunch of lives
Just when I thought that things might get better
Right through the door come a Tear-stained letter.
(Chorus) (Instrumental solos over Chorus chords)
(Chorus) (hook, to end)
