When Johnny got the letter

Just a thousand miles away

Hold it up to the light

But he never tore it open

He remembered how it hurt

The night she turned and walked away
D
So he kept the letter sealed

C
Fourteen days it lay unopened
G
Fourteen days it stayed unread
Fourteen nights he dreamed about her

In what used to be their bed

Though his heart and soul
were achin'

Johnny's pride got in the way
D
And he kept the letter sealed
A

Then one night he couldn't stand it

Johnny took it from the drawer

Just two short weeks before

The tears fell hard as Johnny read

The words she had to say
"Boy I'm coming home to
E
A
you in fourteen days"
Verse 5
A
"Dear John: I know I hurt you,

but I pray that you'll forgive
And if you don't take me back again,

If you're there when I step off the plane

Then I'll be yours, always

I arrive at four p.m. in four
