[Intro]
Bm F# Gmaj7 Dadd4 Em7 x2
[Verse]
I Bmsaved every letter you F#wrote me
Gmaj7From the moment I Dadd4saw you
I Em7knew you were Bmmine
You said you were F#mine
I thought you were Gmaj7mine Dadd4 Em7
Bm Do you know what AngF#elica said
When I Gmaj7told her what you'd Dadd4done? Em7
She said
Bm "You have married an F#Icarus
He has Gmaj7flown too close to the Dadd4sun" Dadd4/C#
BmDon't take another F#step in my direction
I Gmaj7can't be trusted aDadd4round yoEm7u
BmDon't think you can F#talk your way
Into my Gmaj7arms, into my Dadd4arms Dadd4/C#
I'm Bmburning the letters you F#wrote me
You can Gmaj7stand over there if you Dadd4want
I don't Dadd4/C#know who you Bmare
I have so much to F#learn
I'm re-Greading your letters
And watching them D/A
BmburnF#m F#m/E F#/D G
I'm watching them D/A
BmburnF#m F#m/E F#/D G
You Bmpublished the letters she F#wrote to you
You Gmaj7told the whole world
How you Dadd4brought this girl Dadd4/Einto our Bmbed
In clearing your F#name, you have ruined our Gmaj7lives Dadd4 Dadd4/E
BmHeaven forbid someone F#whisper
"He's part of some Gmaj7scheme"
Your enemy Dwhispers
So D/C#you have to Bmscream
I know about F#whispers
I Gsee how you look at my Dsister D/C#
BmDon't
I'm not F#naive
GI have seen women arDound D/Eyou
BmDon't
Think I don't F#see
How they fall for your Gcharms
All your DcharmsD/E
I’m eBmrasing myself from the nF#arrative
Let fGmaj7uture historians Dwonder how Em7Eliza
BmReacted when you broke her F#heart
GYou have thrown it all away
Stand back, watch it D/A
BmburnF#m F#m/E F#/D G
Just watch it all D/A
BmburnF#m F#m/E F#/D G
And when the time Dcomes
Explain to the Bmchildren
The pain and F#membarrassment
You put their mother Gthrough
AWhen will you Dlearn
That they are your F#legacy?
We are your Bm7legacy
If you D/F#thought D/Eyou were Gmine (mine, mine)
BmDon't
