Last Letter

Katharine McPhee

       F
I have a few words in defense of my youth
C                        F        Dm
my regrets would fill an ocean or two
                                               C
I was young I didn’t know what I was stumbling into
     Dm
I’ve had a lot on my mind and there were so many rules
                          F
Makes a girl crazy, makes her break a few

            A# F
And there I go again
            A#     F
Acting like its my fault
               C
When you’re to blame
         
It makes me happy
       F     A#
To use you a little
F
Just to use you a little
   C
To write this song
        F
Its the very last letter
   A#
To an old lover
                Dm
To say I'm glad you’re gone

                                   Am
I’ve got snapshots of things on my mind
       Dm
Though I love the past we don’t leave it behind
                      Gm
But I learned and now I know
F                A#
I don’t need you coming around
    F
One thing I should probably say
              C                        Gm
I got over it all, and surrendered the pain

          A#
Thats the thing about mistakes
         F
You never see them coming
      C
Until its too late

         F
It makes me happy
       A#
To use you a little
                F
Just to use you a little
To write this song
                  C
Its the very last letter
      F
To an old lover
A#
To say I'm glad

          F
Sacrifice my happiness
    C
Its not enough to know
    F
I’m better off the way it is
It makes me happy
C
To use you a little
                F
Just to use you a little
To write this song
             C
Its the very last letter
          Gm
To an old lover
Gm7
To say I’m glad

F
It makes me happy
       C
To use you a little
                F A#
Just to use you a little
To write this song
                   F
It’s the very last letter
To an old lover
To say I’m glad you’re gone.
