Em

[verse 1]
D                                  C
I wish the telephone had not been invented
        G
Because I keep picking it up to say
D
Stupid things to you
Am
The rain has stopped for now
                     G
But I know it's not ended

[pre-chorus]
D
No sense in trying
D
I cannot be protected
C
No sense in worrying
C
I can't be protected
D
No sense in trying
D
I cannot be protected
C
Yeah

[chorus]
Em             D
Wonderful and sad
        Am
How can you be so?
G        D
Wonderful

[verse 2]
D                                          C
I wish that happiness could just be pretended
G
The closest thing to that is
              D
A bottle of whiskey, dear
Am
I'd write a letter home
                           G
But I don't know where to send it


[pre-chorus]
D
No sense in trying
D
I cannot be protected
C
No sense in worrying
C
I can't be protected
D
No sense in trying
D
I cannot be protected
C
Yeah

[chorus]
Em             D
Wonderful and sad
        Am
How can you be so?
G        D
Wonderful
