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