    a number of funny things I heard today.

    I heard that he's left you and gone off to sea,

    could be the best thing that's happened to me.

1. Writing a letter to make you feel better,

      G                             D

    sorry to hear that he left you that way.

   D                                  A

    I could have told you, he was much older,

     G                              D

    so much older than you.

 

       D                                     A

2. You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly,

        G                                               D

    until he found out what he could get from you.

                D                                  A

    You should have departed before he got started,

      G                                                     D

    now you've been burned, just like I said you would.
