Tom: Em
Em D C Gb/D
Dear Marie, you were right about me
Em D C Gb/D
Dear Marie, you were right, you were right
[Verse 1]
Em
I should have been kinder

I surely knew better

Not much of a writer
Gb/D
But I'm sending a letter
Em
I hope it finds you

In love and at peace
C
Don't need much of your time
Gb/D
For this apology
Em D C Gb/D
Oh, Dear Marie, you were right about me
Em D C Gb/D
Dear Marie, you were right, you were right
[Hook]
Em D C Gb/D
You said that I could leave you lonely in a crowded room
Em D C Gb/D
By smiling bright for everyone but you
Em D C Gb/D
And I'm embarrassed to confess it, but it all rings true
Em D C Gb/D
You said that charm of mine was easy to abuse
[Verse 2]
Em
And if I'm so smart
D
How can I learn so slow
C
You had the hard part
Gb/D
I was the last to know
Em
I let the flash blind me
D
The years pass by
C Gb/D
Standing in your light for most of the time
Em
And I did it, I kissed him
D
I knew it would hurt you
C
But it put down my loneliness
Gb/D
And that felt like virtue enough
[Bridge 1]
Em D C
I know it's much too late
Gb/D Em
No need to reply (Dear Marie)

I put us all at stake

Marie, you were right

Em D C Gb/D
You said that I could leave you lonely in a crowded room
Em D C Gb/D
Just by smiling bright for everyone but you
Em D C Gb/D
And I'm embarrassed to confess it, but it all rings true
Em D C Gb/D
You said that charm of mine was easy to abuse
[Bridge 2]
Em
I've had one too many

It takes quite a few

Was counting my losses
Gb/D Em
Wasn't sure if I should count you
D C
And I know it's much too late
Gb/D Em
No need to reply (Dear Marie)
D C
I put us all at stake
Gb/D
Marie, you were
Em D C Gb/D
Marie, you were right
