	A number of funny things I heard today
	   D               C            D           C

Verse 1:

	 D                   A
	Writing a letter to make you feel better
	 G                     D
	Sorry to hear that he left you that way
	D                 A
	I coulda told you he was much older
	G                   D
	So much older than you

Verse 2:

	You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly
	Until he found out what he could get from you
	You shoulda departed before he got started
	Now you've been burned, just like I said you would
