G
The note was short but oh so strong
          C
It simply said I can't go on
           G                        D7
And live a lie with someone I don't love
             G
She couldn't tell me face to face
       C
Oh but how my world was changed
       G                  D7
By the hand that held the pen
               G                    C
That wrote the words that broke the heart
       G             D7              G
Of the one, the only one that really loves her

[Verse 2]
              G
My tears fell down like falling rain
               C
But they can't wash away the pain
         G                               D7
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms
          G
She never meant to break my heart
           C
But how my world was torn apart
       G                  D7
By the hand that held the pen
               G                    C
That wrote the words that broke the heart
       G             D7              G
Of the one, the only one that really loves her

[Bridge]
     D7
With one stroke of the pen
C                    G
She wrote off all my dreams
C               G             D7
Erasing all the plans we made together

[Verse 3]
  G
I was the one who was to blame
       C
Oh but how my world was changed
       G                  D7
By the hand that held the pen
               G                    C
That wrote the words that broke the heart
       G             D7              C        G
Of the one, the only one that really loves h-er
