Intro
G#m E B - B2 - B
[Verse 1]
G#m
I wrote you a letter
E
Asked your best friend to send it
B B2 B
But took to the sea before you could have read it
G#m E
Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown
B B2 B
Extracted my heart while it was still beating
G#m
But glowing and red
E
And I swear that sweat would
B B2 B
Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it
[Chorus]
G#m E
I swear I'm a good man
B B2 B
I swear I'm a good man
G#m E B B2 B
So why don't you love me back?
[Verse 2]
G#m E
Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
B B2 B
In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
G#m E
And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest
B B2 B
My head made a home for the hum of the insects
G#m E
But my hands shake and shudder at the mention
B B2 B
Of half written reasons why we'll only be friends
[Chorus]
G#m E
I swear I'm a good man
B B2 B
I swear I'm a good man
G#m E B B2 B
So why don't you love me back?
