Intro: G Gdim C C* (x2)


     G                         Gdim
Been living hand-to-mouth for a year or better
        C                    C*
When the mailman comes and he brings me your letter
     G                         Gdim
And I recognize the handwriting even now
      C                   C*
But I go ahead and open it anyhow, yeah
   G                        Gdim
No one's been buying from my roadside stand and I 
C                      C*
Hold your letter like a cross in my hand

G                             D Cadd9

       G                   
I went out into the kitchen
Gdim                              C
Where the light comes through the four-paneled window
C*
Clear and bright 
        G                          Gdim
And it's taken me several years to realize
          C                     C*
How much I like the way that you dot your i's
      G                    F#m
Well I was born in Indiana thirty years ago
        Gm                Am
I got a mean, mean hunger down below

G                                 D Cadd9
And I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
G                             D Cadd9
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
G                                 Am F#m
I'm gonna wrap up all my troubles
       G Gdim C C*
In you
