[C]
[G] [D]
[G] This is my last letter, babe.
[D] I just can't write you anymore.
My poor little faithless soul, [G] out of haste in the floor you sank.
[C] Threw away our faith,
[G] it was tearing me apart.
[D] This is my seventh letter, babe, just to satisfy [G] my heart.
One day I wrote a tome, [D] I was all alone and blue.
Tuesday I wrote again, babe, I [Em] said I loved no one, no [G] one, no one but you.
No, I don't.
[C] Wednesday I watched you gave up, [G] begging you to call.
[D] Thursday I sent a message, I said I was wrong and darling, please come [G] back home.
[C] Friday I woke up crying, [G] wet the step with a tear.
[D] Come that long loss of sanity, I did the same thing all over [G] again, yes I did.
[C] This is my seventh letter, babe.
[Em] [G] On this bright Sunday morning, [D] just got off my knees from praying.
I said, oh Lord, oh Lord, please send her back home.
Can't you hear me talking to her?
[C]
Seven [G] days, seven long, lonely days, now I say [C] it.
