[E] Oh, the kids in the mailbox, [A] come on in
Oh, jealous me and careless you
[E] The odds were just too great
I couldn't take those lonely nights
You made me [A] sit and wait
I thought I'd seen the last of [E] you
When you walked out of sight
Instead I see you in my [A] dreams each night
Oh, the kids in the mailbox, [D] come on in
I'm [E] sitting here wishing, dear
I had your [A] luck, dear
I'll never even ask you [D] where you've been
[E] So, the kids in the mailbox, [A] come on in
[E] [A] [F]
[Bb] I said, I'd rather be [F] alone
Than share your company
I said, don't come around at all
If you want [Bb] more than me
But sitting here alone
I [F] can't deny the flame that burns
I'll gladly take you [Bb] back on any turn
