Intro
D#m B F# - F#2 - F#
[Verse 1]
D#m
I wrote you a letter
B
Asked your best friend to send it
F# F#2 F#
But took to the sea before you could have read it
D#m B
Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown
F# F#2 F#
Extracted my heart while it was still beating
D#m
But glowing and red
B
And I swear that sweat would
F# F#2 F#
Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it
[Chorus]
D#m B
I swear I'm a good man
F# F#2 F#
I swear I'm a good man
D#m B F# F#2 F#
So why don't you love me back?
[Verse 2]
D#m B
Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
F# F#2 F#
In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
D#m B
And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest
F# F#2 F#
My head made a home for the hum of the insects
D#m B
But my hands shake and shudder at the mention
F# F#2 F#
Of half written reasons why we'll only be friends
[Chorus]
D#m B
I swear I'm a good man
F# F#2 F#
I swear I'm a good man
D#m B F# F#2 F#
So why don't you love me back?
