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