Love Letter

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

   Eb                        Ab
1. I hold this letter in my hand
   Eb
   A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
   Ab
   I hope it does as I have planned   
   Losing her again is more than I can bear
   Eb              Ab
   I kiss the cold, white envelope
   Eb
   I press my lips against her name
   Ab
   Two hundred words. We live in hope
   Eb
   The sky hangs heavy with rain

   Eb                Ab
R: Love Letter Love Letter
   Eb             Ab
   Go get her Go get her
   Eb                A
   Love Letter Love Letter
   Eb              B - Ab
   Go tell her Go tell her

2. A wicked wind whips up the hill
   A handful of hopeful words
   I love her and I always will
   The sky is ready to burst
   Said something I did not mean to say
   Said something I did not mean to say
   Said something I did not mean to say
   It all came out the wrong way

R: Love Letter...

3. Rain your kisses down upon me
   Rain your kisses down in storms
   And for all who'll come before me
   In your slowly fading forms
   I'm going out of my mind
   Will leave me standing in
   The rain with a letter and a prayer
   Whispered on the wind

   B           Ab
*: Come back to me
   B           Ab
   Come back to me
   B     Ab          B      Eb
   O baby please come back to me
