A   A        AA    A F♯ D    E     F♯

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

A  A    A  A     BBF♯F♯ F♯

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

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED!
