I thought were mine

Do you know what Angelica said
G7M D4
When we saw your first letter arrive?
Em7 Bm F#
She said: "Be careful with that one, love
G7M D
he will do what it takes to survive."
D/C# Bm F#
You and your words flooded my senses
G7M D4
Your sentences left me defenseless
Em7 Bm F#
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
G7M D D/C#
You built cathedrals
Bm F#/A#
I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me

I'm searching and scanning for answers
Em7 Bm7
In every line
F#
For some kind of sign
D/G G7M
And when you were mine
G D/A Bm F#m F#m/E F#m/D G
The world seemed to burn
D/A Bm F#m F#m/E F#m/D G
Burn

Into our bed

In clearing your name

You have ruined our lives

Do you know what Angelica said

When she read what you'd done?

She said: "You have married an Icarus.
G D
He has flown too close to the sun."
A7/C# Bm F#7
You and your words obsessed with your legacy
G D2
Your sentences border on senseless
A/C# Bm7 F#7
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
G9M
How they perceive you-
G
You, you, you
Bm F#/A#
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
G9M D
Let future historians wonder
Em7 Bm7
How Eliza reacted

When you broke her heart

You have torn it all apart
G D/A Bm F#m F#m/E F#m/D G
I'm watching it burn

Watching it burn
Verse

The world has no right to my heart
Bbmaj7(5+)
Bm7 D/G
They don't get to know what I said

I'm burning the memories
Bbmaj7(5+)
Bm7
that might have redeemed you

You forfeit all rights to my heart

You forfeit the place in our bed

You'll sleep in your office instead

With only the memories
D/C# D/F# D/E D G
of when you were mine
Bm F#/A# G7M D Em7 B2
I hope that you burn
