I want to give her something she'll remember

I want to squeeze her tight and not offend her, yeah

And he thought that she was coming back,
          E             D
but she wrote him a letter
Bm                        C#m
Sealed it with a kiss and placed it
                F#m E/G# F#m/A A/C# D A/C# D
in front of my door

Chorus:
D                   E F#m        E     D  A/C# D
Seems as though you've got your way before

you broke my heart for the last time
D                           F#m
You broke my heart for the last time,
 E      G      F#m
goodbye Elenore

I tried to tell the boys all about her, yeah
And they say, "No, no, no, no, no"
They told me she was loose, no doubt about her
Well I say, "No, no, no, no, no"
And he thought that
she was coming back, but she wrote him a letter
Sealed it with a kiss
and placed it in front of my door

Chorus - x2

You broke my heart for the last time,
broke my heart, it's the last time
You stole my heart and now you're gone forevermore
