 Bm           F#
I saved every letter you wrote me
Gmaj7       Dadd4
From the moment I saw you
 Em7      Bm
I knew you were mine
         F#
You said you were mine
          Gmaj7  Dadd4 Em7
I thought you were mine

Bm           F#
  Do you know what Angelica said
    Gmaj7        Dadd4 Em7
When I told her what you'd done?

She said
Bm           F#
 "You have married an Icarus
    Gmaj7         Dadd4 Dadd4/C#
He has flown too close to the sun"


Bm         F#
Don't take another step in my direction
 Gmaj7       Dadd4  Em7
I can't be trusted around you
Bm         F#
Don't think you can talk your way
    Gmaj7     Dadd4 Dadd4/C#
Into my arms, into my arms


  Bm           F#
I'm burning the letters you wrote me
    Gmaj7          Dadd4
You can stand over there if you want
    Dadd4/C#   Bm
I don't know who you are
         F#
I have so much to learn
    G
I'm re-reading your letters
         D/A
And watching them
Bm F#m F#m/E F#/D G
burn
         D/A
I'm watching them
Bm F#m F#m/E F#/D G
burn


  Bm            F#
You published the letters she wrote to you
  Gmaj7
You told the whole world
    Dadd4       Dadd4/E Bm
How you brought this girl into our bed
         F#            Gmaj7 Dadd4 Dadd4/E
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives

Bm          F#
Heaven forbid someone whisper
          Gmaj7
"He's part of some scheme"
      D
Your enemy whispers
  D/C#    Bm
So you have to scream
       F#
I know about whispers
 G           D   D/C#
I see how you look at my sister
Bm
Don't

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

   Bm           F#
I’m erasing myself from the narrative
   Gmaj7      D     Em7
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Bm             F#
Reacted when you broke her heart
G
You have thrown it all away
           D/A
Stand back, watch it

Bm F#m F#m/E F#/D G
burn
         D/A
Just watch it all
Bm F#m F#m/E F#/D G
burn
         D
And when the time comes
        Bm
Explain to the children
       F#m
The pain and embarrassment
           G
You put their mother through
A       D
When will you learn
          F#
That they are your legacy?
      Bm7
We are your legacy
    D/F#  D/E   G
If you thought you were mine (mine, mine)
Bm
Don't
