Shorter Letter

[Intro ]
A 


[Refrão]
 
     A                          D                     A 
If I had more time I would have written you a shorter letter 
A                                     D  D/C#     Bm       E 
Cut out the awkward parts and let the poetry flow better 
A                             D                  A 
Leave in every hurtful bit of heartache and hard truths 
A                              Bm E    A 
Well I signed it at the bottom "I Love You" 
 


[Verso 1]
 
     A               D               A 
Well I'm in a hurry, you can call it haste 
     A                       E 
I've got all these feelings, no time to waste 
  A                 D                   A 
I wanna be elegant, win with the fewest moves 
     A                   E             A 
When I put pen to paper, well I get confused

If I had more time I would have written you a shorter letter 
A                                     D  D/C#     Bm       E 
Cut out the awkward parts and let the poetry flow better 
A                             D                  A 
Leave in every hurtful bit of heartache and hard truths 
A                              Bm E    A 
Well I signed it at the bottom "I Love You"

[Verso 2]
 
   A                        D         A 
My penmanship is sloppy, my prose are worse 
     A                      E 
With every line I write, it feels more rehearsed 
  A                                  D                       A 
I keep makin' the same mistakes 'til I learned my lesson for good 
A                                 E           A 
One day I'll be a better man, and better understood

Cut out the awkward parts and let the poetry flow better 
A                             D                  A 
Leave in every hurtful bit of heartache and hard truths 
A                              Bm E    A 
Well I signed it at the bottom "I Love You" 
A                              Bm E    A 
And I signed it at the bottom "I Love You"
