There?s a letter in a shoe box in a dresser she keeps locked.
G D
But she?s never read it all the way through.
G D G C
It was the last one he wrote her, she was sure it was over
G D G
from all that he told her in the first line or two.
G D G C
He said times are hard know, got some things left to sort out
G D
And a man and his freedom don?t easily part.
G D G C
That?s were she stopped reading, her soul was bleeding.
G D G
So she chose her weapon and went for his heart.
