C
I guess that I don't care and neither do you
C
Everybody done tried to tell me we's through
G
But I don't really know
C
Cause you never would have told me
[Verse]
C
The night before you left
C
I could tell and I could see
C
You really did not want to hold me
G

C
And tried to imagine
[Chorus]
F
Words you should have written
C
In those letters that you wrote
G C
Telling me that everything was fine
F
I'd have given both my legs
C
And what's left of my heart
G C

[Verse]
C
I know that I been here and you been there
C
Please don't tell me that I don't care
G C
I'm just trying to keep it all together
C
You pulled the wool right over my eyes
C
Guess I should not act surprised
G C
I'm just holding tight for better weather
[Chorus]
F
Words you should have written
C
In those letters that you wrote
G C
Telling me that everything was fine
