B minorBm F#F# Gmaj7Gmaj7 Dadd4 E minor 7Em7  x2


Verse:

 B minorBm           F#F#
I saved every letter you wrote me
Gmaj7Gmaj7       Dadd4
From the moment I saw you
 E minor 7Em7      B minorBm
I knew you were mine
         F#F#
You said you were mine
          Gmaj7Gmaj7  Dadd4 E minor 7Em7
I thought you were mine

B minorBm           F#F#
  Do you know what Angelica said
    Gmaj7Gmaj7        Dadd4 E minor 7Em7
When I told her what you'd done?

She said
B minorBm           F#F#
 "You have married an Icarus
    Gmaj7Gmaj7         Dadd4 Dadd4/C#
He has flown too close to the sun"


B minorBm         F#F#
Don't take another step in my direction
 Gmaj7Gmaj7       Dadd4  E minor 7Em7
I can't be trusted around you
B minorBm         F#F#
Don't think you can talk your way
    Gmaj7Gmaj7     Dadd4 Dadd4/C#
Into my arms, into my arms


  B minorBm           F#F#
I'm burning the letters you wrote me
    Gmaj7Gmaj7          Dadd4
You can stand over there if you want
    Dadd4/C#   B minorBm
I don't know who you are
         F#F#
I have so much to learn
    G+G
I'm re-reading your letters
         D/AD/A
And watching them
B minorBm F# minorF#m F#m/E F#/D G+G
burn
         D/AD/A
I'm watching them
B minorBm F# minorF#m F#m/E F#/D G+G
burn

  B minorBm            F#F#
You published the letters she wrote to you
  Gmaj7Gmaj7
You told the whole world
    Dadd4       Dadd4/E B minorBm
How you brought this girl into our bed
         F#F#            Gmaj7Gmaj7 Dadd4 Dadd4/E
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives

B minorBm          F#F#
Heaven forbid someone whisper
          Gmaj7Gmaj7
"He's part of some scheme"
      D MajorD
Your enemy whispers
  D/C#    B minorBm
So you have to scream
       F#F#
I know about whispers
 G+G           D MajorD   D/C#
I see how you look at my sister
B minorBm
Don't

    F#F#
I'm not naive
G+G          D MajorD  D/ED/E
I have seen women around you
B minorBm
Don't
       F#F#
Think I don't see
            G+G
How they fall for your charms
     D MajorD   D/ED/E
All your charms

   B minorBm           F#F#
I’m erasing myself from the narrative
   Gmaj7Gmaj7      D MajorD     E minor 7Em7
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
B minorBm             F#F#
Reacted when you broke her heart
G+G
You have thrown it all away
           D/AD/A
Stand back, watch it

B minorBm F# minorF#m F#m/E F#/D G+G
burn
         D/AD/A
Just watch it all
B minorBm F# minorF#m F#m/E F#/D G+G
burn
         D MajorD
And when the time comes
        B minorBm
Explain to the children
       F# minorF#m
The pain and embarrassment
           G+G
You put their mother through
A augmentedA       D MajorD
When will you learn
          F#F#
That they are your legacy?
      Bm7Bm7
We are your legacy
    D/F#D/F#  D/ED/E   G+G
If you thought you were mine (mine, mine)
B minorBm
Don't
