[Intro 1]
[G][F#][G][F#]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
I [Bm]saved every
letter you [F#]wro te [G]me
From the moment [D]I read them
I [Em]knew you were [Bm]mine
You said you were [F#]mine
I thought you [G]were [D]mine[G][A][Bm]
Do you know what An[F#]gelica said
When we [G]saw your first letter ar[D]rive?
[Em]She said[Bm]: "Be careful with that [F#]one,
love
He will [G]do what it takes to survive"
[D]You[A] and[D] your wor[Bm]ds flooded my [F#]senses
Your [G]sentences left me de[D]fenseless
[Em]You built me p[Bm]alaces[G]
[Bm]out of p[F#]aragraphs
You built [G]cathedrals[C#dim]
[A]I'm [D]re- [Bm]reading the letters you [F#]wrote me
I'm [G]searching and scanning for [D]an [G]swers
In [Em]every [Bm]line
For some kind of [F#]sign
And when you [G]were [A]mine
The [G]world [D]seemed [A]to burn
[Bm][F#][D][G][D]
[Bm]Burn[G][D][G]
[Bm]You published the [G]letters
she [F#]wrote you
[G]You told the whole world how
you brought this [D]girl
[Em]Into our [Bm]bed
In clearing your [F#]name
You've ruined [G]our [Em]lives
[Bm]Do you know what Angelic[F#]a said
When she [G]read what you'd [D]done?
[Em]She [Bm]said: "You have
married [F#]an Icarus
He has [G]flown too close to the [D]sun"
[A]You and your [Bm]words obsessed
with your [F#]legacy
Your [G]sentences border [D]on senseless
[A]And you are par[Bm]anoid
in every [F#]paragraph
How they per[G]ceive you You, you, you...
I'm [Cm]erasing myself from the [G]narrative
Let fu[Ab]ture historians [Eb]wonder
[Fm]I had reac[Cm]ted
You broke [Eb]my h[G]eart[Ab]
You have torn it all apart
I'm [Bbsus4]watching i[Bb]t[Cm]
[Fm]burn[Eb] Burn[Ab][Bbsus4]
[Bb]The [Cm]world[F] ha[Eb]s[Ab]
no right to my [Eb]heart
The world has [B]no place in our bed
[Baug]They don't g[Cm]et to know what I said[Ab]
I'm [Bb]burning the [Eb]memories
Burning the [B]letters
That might [Baug]have re[G] dee[Cm]med you
You [Ab]forfeit all [Bb]rights to my [Eb]heart
You forfeit the [B]place in our bed
You'll [Cm]sleep in your office in[Ab]stead
With [Bb]only [Bbsus4]the memori[Eb]es
Of when you were [Bb]mine[Gm][F][Eb][Ab]
I hope that you [Cm]burn

[Outro 1]
