Those Old Love Letters From You
Tommy Collins
Album: This Is Tommy Collins
[Intro]
G D G
G C G
I came upon a bundle of letters one day
A D
I had in my mind to throw them away
G C G
But I broke the faded ribbon before I thought again
D G
I opened up the first one when I noticed your name
G C G
There were many many pages all about old times
A D
The blurs from your lonely tears were covered up by mine
G C G
I heard your voice again love I saw your sweet lips move
D G
When I read the words I love you I said I love you too
G C
Why did I keep those old love letters
G D
I had almost forgotten you
G C
Why did I read those old love letters
G D G
Those old love letters from you
[Instrumental]
G C G A D G C G D G
G C G
I'll burn the old love letters the ones that you're part of
A D
I'll take a spade and bury deep the ashes of love
G C G
I'm trying to forget you though I know there's no use
D G
Cause when you love somebody that feeling's hard to lose
G C
Why did I keep those old love letters
G D
I had almost forgotten you
G C
Why did I read those old love letters
G D G
Those old love letters from you
