[Intro 1]
[C]
[Baug][Em][Baug][Em]

[Verse 1]
[C]I sat
down and wrote this letter
Telling you that I felt better
[Em]Since you've gone and [B]I w[Em]as fr[B]ee[Em]
I'm so happy

[Verse 2]
I [C]have so little time to spare now
I'm wanted almost everywhere now
[Em]I make out like Casanova
Friends are always coming over

[Verse 3]
I [C]signed my name as if I meant it
And sealed it with a kiss and sent [Em]it
The letter headed through my mood
Happy in my solitude

[Verse 4]
But [C]halfway home I changed my tune
And when I [Em]saw my lonely room
[A]The mirror caught my eye
When I sat down, [Em]I cri[A]ed

[Verse 5]
[Em]Big lie,[B] small[Em] world[Baug][Em]
It was a big [B]lie, [Baug]small wo[Em]rld[Baug][Em]
I [C]had to intercept that

[Verse 6]
letter
Telling you that I was better
I [Em]raced to catch [Esus4]the post
[Em]man's [Esus4]van
He was [Em]leaving as I ran
I [C]missed the bus, I missed the train

[Verse 7]
[C]
I end up walking in [Bm]the rain
[Em]Big dog chased me down the street
Hadn't had a bite to eat
[C]Feeling sorry for myself

[Verse 8]
And [G]wishing I was someone [Bm]else
I [A]walked across the city
Because I couldn't stand
your [Am]pity[C][Bb][C][Em]
[B]Big lie,

[Verse 9]
[Em]smal[B]l worl[Baug]d[Em]
It was a big [B]lie, [Em]smal[Baug]l world
The [G]place you live looks op

[Verse 10]
[Em]u le[G]nt
And [D]obviously a higher rent
Than a [Dm]cozy [F]little [Dm]room
I had [Em]this sense of [E]doom
[Em]Your landlord says you're out

[Verse 11]
of town
But [D]your new boyfriend's
always around
[C#m]The hour was [F#sus4]get ting late[B][C#m]
[A]So [F#m]I sit down[D][F#aug]
[Bbaug]and wait[F#][Em]

[Interlude 1]
[Em]
[C]Here's the postman with

[Verse 12]
my letter
Coming down the path he better
[Em]Give that thing to me
I have to make him see
[C]Begging doesn't do

[Verse 13]
the trick
He thinks that I'm a lunatic
[Bm]But then[Em] who comes upon the scene
But your new boyfriend, Mr. Clean
I [C]hit the postman, hit

[Verse 14]
your lover
[Em]Grabbed the [B]letter, ran [Em]for [B]cover
The po[Bb]lice arrived in time for tea
They [D]said [A]they'd like to question me
But [C]I can only curse

[Verse 15]
my fate
I [B]had [Bm]to face the [G]magistrate[Em]
[A]It hasn't been the best of days
I'd like to fly [Bb]away[Em]
[B]Big lie,

[Verse 16]
