Intro
Bm G D - D2 - D
[Verse 1]
Bm
I wrote you a letter
G
Asked your best friend to send it
D D2 D
But took to the sea before you could have read it
Bm G
Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown
D D2 D
Extracted my heart while it was still beating
Bm
But glowing and red
G
And I swear that sweat would
D D2 D
Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it
[Chorus]
Bm G
I swear I'm a good man
D D2 D
I swear I'm a good man
Bm G D D2 D
So why don't you love me back?
[Verse 2]
Bm G
Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
D D2 D
In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
Bm G
And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest
D D2 D
My head made a home for the hum of the insects
Bm G
But my hands shake and shudder at the mention
D D2 D
Of half written reasons why we'll only be friends
[Chorus]
Bm G
I swear I'm a good man
D D2 D
I swear I'm a good man
Bm G D D2 D
So why don't you love me back?
