     Bm                                           F# 
I saved every letter you wrote me
 G                                   D 
From the moment I read them
     Em7                       Bm 
I knew you were mine
                                       F# 
You said you were mine
                                       G         D   Em7 
I thought you were mine
 Bm                                 F# 
Do you know what Angelica said
                   G                                         D             Em7 
When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said
 Bm                             F# 
"Be careful with that one, love
                 G                                           D 
He will do what it takes to survive"
 Em7/C#               Bm                             F# 
You and your words flooded my senses
             G                                       D 
Your sentences left me defenseless
 Em7                         Bm                         F# 
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
                           G               D   Em7 
You built cathedrals
                   Bm                                         F# 
I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me
             G                                                   D 
I'm searching and scanning for answers
         Em7     Bm 
In every line
                                     F# 
For some kind of sign
                                       G 
And when you were mine
The world seemed to
 D/A   Bm   F#m   F#m/E   F#/D   G7M 
Burn
 D/A   Bm   F#m   F#m/E   F#/D   G7M 
Burn
           Bm                                               F# 
You published the letters she wrote you
         G                                                         D 
You told the whole world how you brought
                       Em7         Bm 
This girl into our bed
                                   F#                                                 G         D   Em7 
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
 Bm                                 F#                     G 
Do you know what Angelica said
                                                     D         Em7 
When she read what you'd done?
                   Bm 
She said
                                               F# 
"You have married an Icarus
                 G                                         D 
He has flown too close to the sun"
 Em7/C#               Bm                                               F# 
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy
               G                                       D 
Your sentences border on senseless
 Em7                     Bm                               F# 
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
                         G 
How they perceive you
You, you, you
           Bm                                           F# 
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
           G                                   D                 Em7 
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
 Bm                                               F# 
Reacted when you broke her heart
 G 
You have torn it all apart
I am watching it
 D/A   Bm   F#m   F#m/E   F#/D   G7M 
Burn
                         D/A   Bm   F#m   F#m/E   F#/D   G7M 
Watching it burn
                                   A                         D 
The world has no right to my heart
                                     D 
The world has no place in our bed
             Bm7                                           G7M 
They don't get to know what I said
           A                         D 
I'm burning the memories
                           D                                       Bm7 
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
             G7M             A                     D 
You forfeit all rights to my heart
                                   D 
You forfeit the place in our bed
                 Bm7                                     G7M 
You'll sleep in your office instead
             A                 D 
With only the memories
                           D           D/F#   D/E   D  G 
Of when you were mine
                                   Bm   F#   G   D  Em7   Bm9 
I hope that you burn
