[Intro] Am Am7/G Fmaj7 Am7/G Am Am7/G C [Verse 1]
Am       Am7/G
Wise men once said

 Fmaj7           Am7/G
"Wild winds are death to the candle"

  Am      Am7/G Fmaj7  Am7/G
A rose by any    other name is a scandal

Am       Am7/G   Fmaj7
Cautions issued, she stood

Am7/G
Shooting the messengers

Am            Am7/G       Fmaj7    Am7/G
They tried to warn him about her
[Chorus]
C           Gadd11
 Cross your thoughtless heart

Am     Fmaj7
  Only liquor anoints you

C          Gadd11
 She's the albatross

Am       Fmaj7
  She is here to destroy you
[Verse 2]
Am       Am7/G
Wise men once said

Fmaj7     Am7/G
"One bad seed kills the garden"

Am       Am7/G
"One less temptress

Fmaj7     Am7/G
One less dagger to sharpen"

Am        Am7/G Fmaj7
Locked me up in towers

        Am7/G            Am
But I'd visit in your dreams

                  Am7/G       Fmaj7   Am7/G
And they tried to warn you about me
[Chorus]
C           Gadd11
 Cross your thoughtless heart

Am     Fmaj7
  Only liquor anoints you

C          Gadd11
 She's the albatross

Am       Fmaj7
  She is here to destroy you

C       Gadd11
 Devils that you know

Am            Fmaj7
  Raise worse hell than a stranger

C          Gadd11
 She's the death you chose

Am          C
  You're in terrible danger
[Verse 3]
C
 I, I loved you in secret

Am                    Gadd11
 First sight, yeah, we love without reason

C
 Oh, twenty-five years old

Am            Gadd11
 Oh, how were you to know, and

C
 My, my love had been frozen

Am                  Gadd11
 Deep blue, but you painted me golden

C
 Oh, and you held me close

Am           Gadd11
 Oh, how was I to know that
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I could've spent forever with your hands in my pockets

Am                            Gadd11
Picture of your face in an invisible locket

C
You said there was nothing in the world that could stop it

     Am          Gadd11
I had a bad feeling

            C
And darling, you had turned my bed into a sacred oasis

Am                              Gadd11
People started talking, putting us through our paces

C
I knew there was no one in the world who could take it

      Am         Gadd11
I had a bad feeling
[Chorus]
               C     Csus4
But we were dancing

                Am7           Am7/G
Dancing with our   hands tied, hands tied

               C     Csus4
Yeah, we were dancing

                Am          Am7/G
Like it was the  first time, first time

               C     Csus4
Yeah, we were dancing

                Am            Am7/G
Dancing with our  hands tied, hands tied

               C     Csus4
Yeah, we were dancing

           Am        Gadd11
And I had a bad feeling

             C
But we were dancing
[Bridge]
C                              Am
I'd kiss you as the lights went out

Am7/G                        C
  Swaying as the room burned down

                           Am       Am7/G
I'd hold you as the water rushes in

                      C
If I could dance with you again

                               Am
I'd kiss you as the lights went out

Am7/G                      C
  Swaying as the room burned down

                          Am        Am7/G  Fmaj7
I'd hold you as the water rushes in

               C        Gadd11 Fmaj7
And when that sky rains fire on you

              C         Gadd11 Fmaj7
And you're persona non grataa - aah

               C       Gadd11   Fmaj7
I'll tell you how I've been there too

          C          Gadd11
And that none of it matters
[Verse 3]
Am       Am7/G     Fmaj7
Wise men once read fake news

Am7/G
And  they believed it

Am      Am7/G        Fmaj7
Jackals raised their hackles

    Am7/G
You couldn't conceive it

Am       Am7/G    Fmaj7                    Am7/G
You were sleeping soundly When they dragged

                 Am                   Am7/G
you from your bed  And I tried to warn

         C    Am7/G
you about  them
[Chorus]
    C           Gadd11
So I crossed my thoughtless heart

Am          Fmaj7
  Spread my wings like a parachute

C        Gadd11
 I'm the albatross

Am        C
  I swept in   at the rescue

       Gadd11
Devils that you know

Am          Fmaj7
  Looks now more like an angel

C        Gadd11      Am
 I'm the life you chose

             Fmaj7        C   Gadd11 Am
And all this terrible danger

  Fmaj7          C   Gadd11 C
This terrible danger
[Outro]
                   Gadd11
But we were dancing

                 Am          C
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied

                     Gadd11
Yeah, we were dancing

                 Am          C
Like it was the first time, first time
C Gadd11 C/G C
C        G
She' the albatross

Am     C
She is here to destroy you
