D                                 A
I recognize the writing,  on the plain white

 envelope.                                          Bm                    F#m              G         
I've wondered where she'd wind up,  before

she called or wrote.
      G           D                    Bm
The answer's in a circle,  through the word
   F#m        G                                        
 'Love' on a stamp,

or I could see Seattle,  with her mom and dad 

up there                                     G                     D          Bm                                     
She never mentioned Alabama,  so I don't 
F#m     G
understand.

Chorus:
 Bm                 F#m         G                
A two-page letter written on,  Ramada stationary.  
 Bm     F#m   G
Dated April twenty-two.
  G                                      
She asked me not to hate her,  said she's 
 D
sorry.  
    C                               A                  
But leavin's what she felt she had to do.

D                                      A                                   
So the day she left she made it,  two hundred 
       D
miles south.
Bm                            F#m
Did she settle there, did she mail this note 
        G       
on her way out of town.
 G                      D                             
What chance is there to find her,  when the 
Bm   F#m    G
only clue I have is
G          A          D

Verse 3
 D                                       A             
Every day down by the mailbox,  standin' on 
            D
the curb I check.
Bm                     F#m              G               
The upper right hand corner,  of every piece of mail I get.
G                           D
Hopin' there's that certain circle,  
           Bm           F#m   G   
Through the word 'Love' on a stamp.
 G         A          D  Bm
