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