	/  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

	      C                   F            G                  F
	Some words are best not spoken, some things are best not said
	      C                           F
	But since this is your public execution I think I'm gonna go right on
	      G [w/12-string, as above]
	    ahead

Verse 1:

	      C                   F                       G               F
	The mailman brought your letter, babe, where you told me how you feel
	    C                   F                    G               F
	N about the things he said he told you, that is, I'm such a heel
	    C                 F             G               F
	But I could never be honest that t you I've always lied
	         C                F                               G
	When he saw me take some other hide for a two-wheel pony ride

Bridge 1:

	 F                       G
	You at least might have asked me
	         F                       G
	If the scene was really what it seemed
	             C         F       C
	But like a queen ruled by her jester
	      F                 G
	Your conclusions was esteemed [?]

Verse 2:

	You said I disappointed you wherever all the things I've done
	N that you had convinced yourself I was the only one
	Really make you happy, satisfy your soul
	Now you say I've failed you since we've spent up all my gold

Bridge 2:

	Have you ever seen the truth, therefore
	Have you ever made a try
	Such a thing for you's so impossible
	With them beans all in your eyes

Verse 3:

	Whoa, I read where you said you want one good chance t really put
	     me down
	N how you'd love t smear my name all over my home town
	Said some Mouse made a fool of you n said don't waste a dime
	Your phone is out of order now, babe, for me you've got no time

Bridge 3:

	If this is really what you're thinkin'
	That it's really, really all my fault
	You better find yourself a welder, baby
	(C)             F                  G      Ab
	'Cause you got locked up in your vault

	[key change to Db]

Verse 4:

	          Db                  Gb           Ab                Gb
	Yeah, you got your point put over now, it seems you found a match
	 Db                Gb                        Ab              Gb
	Burn the bridge behind you, babe, slam your door, throw the latch
	   Db                   Gb                Ab               Gb
	I know just how you're hurtin' from your feelings as they burn
	     Db             Gb                              Ab
	I'd like t say I'm sorry, but it's no longer my concern

Coda:	[rant over Db-Gb-Ab-Gb to fade]

	So goodbye
	Go on n have a real good cry
	I've found me a brand new high
	She just loves a two-wheel pony ride
	You better get yourself a welder, babe
	Go on, get out of here...
