Verse 1:
   G             Gdim
Been living hand-to-mouth for a year or better
    C          C7
When the mailman comes and he brings me your letter
   G             Gdim
And I recognize the handwriting even now
   C          C7
But I go ahead and open it anyhow, yeah
 G                B
and no one's been buying from my roadside stand
   C           D
so I hold your letter like a cross in my hand

Chorus:
    G           Dsus4 Cadd9
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles

I'm gonna wrap up my troubles

In you

Verse 2:
    G
I went out into the kitchen
Gdim               C
Where the light comes through the four-paneled window
C7
Clear and bright
    G             Gdim
And it's taken me several years to realize
     C           C7
How much I like the way that you dot your i's
      G           B
Well I was born in Indiana thirty years ago
    C         D
I got a mean, mean hunger down below


Chorus:
     G          Cadd9 Dsus4
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
     G          Dsus4 Cadd9
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
     G          B C D
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles
  G  Dsus4 Cadd9
in you
