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