D     C     G                  
dear matthew I like you a lot  
D                         C 
I realize you're in a relationship with someone 
G             Bm    A 
right now and I respect that  
D                   C                  
I would like you to know that if you're ever  
G 
single in the future 
        D            C              G 
and you want to come visit me in california 
D                           C 
I would be open to spending time with you and   
                        G              
finding out how old you were when  
      Bm              A 
you wrote your first song 
 
 
Remaining verses just after the example above: 
 
dear jonathan I liked you too much I used to be attracted  
to boys who would lie to me and think solely about themselves  
and you were plenty self-destructive for my taste at the time  
I used to say the more tragis the better the truth is 
whenever I think of the early 90's your face comes up with  
a vengeance like it was yesterday 
 
dear terrance I love you muchly you've been nothing  
but open hearted and emotionally available and supportive 
and nurturing and consummately there for me  
I kept drawing you in and pushing you away I remember 
how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch  
and cry in front of you for the first time you were the best platform  
from which to jump beyond myself what was wrong with me 
 
dear marcus you rocked my world you had a charismatic way  
about you with the women and you got me 
seriously thinking about spirituality and you wouldn't  
let me get away with kicking my own ass but I could never really feel 
relaxed and looked out for around you though and that stopped  
us from going any further than we did 
and it's kinda too bad becasue we could've had much more fun 
 
dear lou we learned so much I realize we won't be 
able to talk for some time and I understand that as I do you 
the long distance thing was the hardest and we did  
as well as we could we were together during a very tumultuous time 
in our lives I will always have your back 
and be curious about you about your career about your whereabout
