[Eliza]
I Amsaved every letter you wErote me
FFrom the moment I rCead them
I Dmknew you were mAmine
You said you were mEine
I thought you were Fmine C Dm
AmDo you know what AnEgelica said
When we sFaw your first letter aCrrive? Dm
She said
Am“Be careful with Ethat one, love
He will Fdo what it takes to surCvive.”
DmYou and your wAmords flooded my sEenses
Your sFentences left me defeCnseless
DmYou built me paAmlaces out of paEragraphs
You built catFhedrals C Dm
I’m re-reAmading the letters you wErote me
I’m seFarching and scanning for anCswers
In eDmvery lAmine
For some kind of sEign
And when you were mFine
The world seemed to

You pAmublished the letters she wErote you
You Ftold the whole world how you bCrought
This girl iDmnto our Ambed
In clearing your Ename, you have ruined our lFives C Dm
AmDo you know what AnEgelica said F
When she read what you’d dCone? Dm
She said Am
“You have married an IcEarus
He has fFlown too close to the Csun.”
DmYou and your wAmords, obsessed with your lEegacy...
Your seFntences border on senCseless
DmAnd you are pAmaranoid in every pEaragraph
How they perFceive you
You, you, you…
I’m eAmrasing myself from the nEarrative
Let fFuture historians woCnder how EDmliza
AmReacted when you broke herE heart
FYou have torn it all apart
I am watching it
CBurAmn Em F
Watching it CburnAm Em F
The world has no Gright to my heCart
The world has no pEmlace in our bed
They dAmon’t get to know what I sFaid
I’m bGurning the memCories
Burning the lEmetters that might have rAmedeemed you
You foFrfeit all riGghts to my hCeart
You forfeit the pEmlace in our bed
You sAmleep in your office inFstead
With oGnly the meCmories
Of when you wEmere mine Am F
I hope that you bAmurn E F C Dm Am
