I saved every letter you wrote me
F♯ F♯ F♯ F♯ F♯ F♯ E
From the moment I read them
A D E F♯ F♯
I knew you were mine
A D E F♯ F♯
You said you were mine
A D E F♯ F♯ED
I thought you were mine
A A A A A GF♯ F♯
Do you know what Angelica said
E D A A A AF♯ F♯F♯
When we saw your first letter arrive?
D D
She said
D F♯E E E D D
"Be careful with that one, love
D D F♯ E E E D D D
He will do what it takes to survive."
A B A A A F♯ D E F♯
You and your words flooded my senses
A A F♯ F♯ D E D A F♯
Your sentences left me defenseless
D E D AF♯E E E E D D
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
D E D A F♯
You built cathedrals
A A AA A AF♯ D E F♯
I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
F♯ F♯ F♯ F♯ F♯ F♯ F♯ F♯ E
I'm searching and scanning for answers
A DEF♯ F♯
In every line
A D E F♯ F♯
For some kind of sign
A D E F♯ F♯ED
And when you were mine
F♯ F♯ E A
The world seemed to
F♯
Burn
F♯
Burn
A AA A F♯ D E F♯
You published the letters she wrote you
A A A A A F♯ F♯ F♯
You told the whole world how you brought
E A D E F♯ F♯
This girl into our bed
A D E F♯ F♯ A A D E F♯ F♯ED
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives

Do you know what Angelica said
E D A A F♯ F♯
When she read what you'd done?
D D
She said
D D F♯ E E EDD
"You have married an Icarus
D D F♯ E E D D D
He has flown too close to the sun."
A B A A A A F♯ D EDD
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy...
A A F♯F♯ D E D A F♯
Your sentences border on senseless
D EDA F♯ E E EE E D D
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
A B A A F♯
How they perceive you
F♯GF♯GF♯G
You, you, you...
A A A A A A F♯ D E F♯ E
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
F♯ F♯F♯ F♯F♯F♯F♯
Let future historians
F♯ E A A D E
wonder how Eliza
F♯F♯E A D E
Reacted when you broke
F♯ F♯ED
her heart
F♯ F♯ F♯ F♯F♯ F♯F♯
You have torn it all apart
F♯ F♯ E A
I am watching it
F♯AGF♯
Burn
D E F♯ F♯A B
Watching it burn
A A F♯ E E D E D
The world has no right to my heart
D A F♯ D E D E F♯
The world has no place in our bed
D A F♯ E E F♯ E F♯
They don't get to know what I said
D AF♯ E E DD
I'm burning the memories
A F♯ E E D D
Burning the letters that
D E D A F♯
might have redeemed you
A D A G G F♯ G F♯
You forfeit all rights to my heart
A DA G G A G A
You forfeit the place in our bed
A D A G G A G A
You sleep in your office instead
A DA G G F♯F♯
With only the memories
F♯ D A G A
Of when you were mine
D D E A A
I hope that you burn
