View chords used in this chart
CHORUS:
(D)Oh the keys in the mail box come on (G)in
What I'm (A7)setting here wishing dear
I had your love (D)again
And I'll never even ask you, where you (G)been
Oh the (A7)keys in the mail box come on (D)in
VERSE 1:
(D)Oh jealous me, and careless you
The (A7)odds were just too great
And I couldn't take, those lonely nights
You made me sit and (D)wait
I thought I'd seen the last of you
When (A7)you walked out of sight
Instead I see you in my dreams at (D)night
REPEAT CHORUS: So (instead of Oh)
VERSE 2:
(D)Well I said I'd rather live alone
Than (A7)share your company
And I said don't come around at all
If you want, more than (D)me
But sitting here alone, I can't (A7)deny this way that burns
I'd gladly take you back on any (D)terms
REPEAT CHORUS:
TAGG:
(G)OH the (A7)keys in the mail box come on (D)in
