Chords
Here are some unusual chords that enhance the song: D* (D on top) A|-5-| E|-2-| C|-2-| G|-2-| F#* (C# on top) A|-4-| E|-2-| C|-1-| G|-3-| For fingering for this one, I recommend 1 on the C string, 2 on the E string, 3 on the G string, and pinky on the A string. The fret number exactly corresponds to which finger to use.
One last note: I have a tenor uke, so on a soprano, this will still be manageable even if it is awkward.

[Verse 1]
Bm F# I saved every letter you wrote me G D From the moment I read them F# Bm I knew you were mine F# You said you were mine G I thought you were mine
D* F#*
Bm F# Do you know what Angelica said G D F# 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]
F# 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 You built cathedrals
D* F#*
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 Dmaj7 And when you were mine D The world seemed to
[Chorus] (x2)

[Verse 2]
Bm F# You published the letters she wrote you G D You told the whole world how you brought F# Bm This girl into our bed F# G In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
D* F#*
Bm F# Do you know what Angelica said G D F# When she read what you'd done?
She said
Bm F# You have married an Icarus G D He has flown too close to the sun.
[Pre-Chorus]
F# 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
[Verse 3]
Bm F# I'm erasing myself from the narrative G D F# Let future historians wonder how Eliza Bm F# Reacted when you broke her heart Dmaj7 You have torn it all apart
I am watching it
[Chorus]

[Bridge A]
G D The world has no right to my heart F# The world has no place in our bed Bm G They don't get to know what I said D I'm burning the memories F# Bm Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
[Bridge B]
G D You forfeit all rights to my heart F# You forfeit the place in our bed Bm G You sleep in your office instead D With only the memories F# Dmaj7 G Of when you were mine
[Outro]
