C#m A E - E2 - E


[Verse 1]

C#m
I wrote you a letter
A
Asked your best friend to send it
E              E2            E
But took to the sea before you could have read it
C#m            A
Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown
E              E2            E
Extracted my heart while it was still beating
C#m
But glowing and red
A
And I swear that sweat would
E              E2            E
Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it


[Chorus]

C#m    A
I swear I'm a good man
E  E2  E
I swear I'm a good man
C#m  A  E  E2  E
So why don't you love me back?


[Verse 2]

C#m                  A
Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
E                   E2                E
In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
C#m                 A
And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest
E                   E2                E
My head made a home for the hum of the insects
C#m                 A
But my hands shake and shudder at the mention
E                   E2                E
Of half written reasons why we'll only be friends


[Chorus]

C#m                A
I swear I'm a good man
E  E2  E
I swear I'm a good man
C#m  A  E  E2  E
So why don't you love me back?
