[Verse]
(ELIZA)
Bm F# I saved every letter you wrote me G D From the moment I read them Em Bm I knew you were mine F# You said you were mine G D D/C# I thought you were mine Bm F# Do you know what Angelica said G D Em When we saw your first letter arrive?
She said
Bm F# “Be careful with that one, love G D He will do what it takes to survive.”
[Pre-Chorus]
D/C# Bm F# You and your words flooded my senses G D Your sentences left me defenseless Em Bm F# You built me palaces out of paragraphs G D D/C# You built cathedrals Bm F# I’m re-reading the letters you wrote me G D I’m searching and scanning for answers Em Bm In every line F# For some kind of sign G And when you were mine
The world seemed to
[Chorus]

[Verse]
Bm F# You published the letters she wrote you G D You told the whole world how you brought Em Bm This girl into our bed F# G D Em7 In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives Bm F# G Do you know what Angelica said D Em When she read what you’d done? Bm She said F# “You have married an Icarus G D He has flown too close to the sun.”
[Pre-Chorus]
C#dim Bm F# You and your words, obsessed with your legacy... G D Your sentences border on senseless Em Bm F# And you are paranoid in every paragraph G How they perceive you
You, you, you…
Bm F# I’m erasing myself from the narrative G D Em Let future historians wonder how Eliza Bm F# Reacted when you broke her heart G You have torn it all apart
I am watching it
[Chorus]
D/A Bm F#m F#m/E F#m/D Gmaj7 Burn D/A Bm F#m F#m/E F#m/D Gmaj7 Watching it burn
[Bridge]
A D The world has no right to my heart F#m The world has no place in our bed Bm G They don’t get to know what I said A D I’m burning the memories F#m Bm Burning the letters that might have redeemed you G A D You forfeit all rights to my heart F#m You forfeit the place in our bed Bm G You'll sleep in your office instead A D With only the memories F#m D/F# D/E D G Of when you were mine
[Outro]
Bm F# G D Em Bm9 I hope that you burn
