[Verse]

(ELIZA)
I Bmsaved every letter you wF#rote me
GFrom the moment I rDead them
I Em7knew you were mBmine
You said you were mF#ine
I thought you were Gmine  D   Em7

BmDo you know what AnF#gelica said
When we sGaw your first letter aDrrive?  Em7

She said

Bm“Be careful with F#that one, love
He will Gdo what it takes to surDvive.”

[Pre-Chorus]
Em7/C#You and your wBmords flooded my sF#enses
Your sGentences left me defeDnseless
Em7You built me palBmaces out of parF#agraphs
You built catGhedrals  D   Em7
I’m re-reBmading the letters you wF#rote me
I’m seGarching and scanning for anDswers
In eEm7very lBmine
For some kind of sF#ign
And when you were mGine

The world seemed to

This girl iEm7nto our Bmbed
In clearing your F#name, you have ruined our lGives  D   Em7

Em7/C#You and your wBmords, obsessed with your lF#egacy...
Your seGntences border on senDseless
Em7And you are paBmranoid in every paF#ragraph
How they perGceive you

You, you, you…

[Bridge]

The world has no Aright to my heDart
The world has no pD/Bblace in our bed
They dBm7on’t get to know what I sG7+aid
I’m bAurning the memDories
Burning the lD/Bbetters that might have rBm7edeemed you
You foG7+rfeit all riAghts to my hDeart
You forfeit the pD/Bblace in our bed
You'll sBm7leep in your office inG7+stead
With oAnly the meDmories
Of when you wD/Bbere mine D/F# D/E D G

[Outro]

I hope that you BBmurn!F# G D Em7 Bm9
