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 

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 
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 
 
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 
 
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 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
