Intro
F#m D A - A2 - A
[Verse 1]
F#m
I wrote you a letter
D
Asked your best friend to send it
A A2 A
But took to the sea before you could have read it
F#m D
Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown
A A2 A
Extracted my heart while it was still beating
F#m
But glowing and red
D
And I swear that sweat would
A A2 A
Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it
[Chorus]
F#m D
I swear I'm a good man
A A2 A
I swear I'm a good man
F#m D A A2 A
So why don't you love me back?
[Verse 2]
F#m D
Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
A A2 A
In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
F#m D
And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest
A A2 A
My head made a home for the hum of the insects
F#m D
But my hands shake and shudder at the mention
A A2 A
Of half written reasons why we'll only be friends
[Chorus]
F#m D
I swear I'm a good man
A A2 A
I swear I'm a good man
F#m D A A2 A
So why don't you love me back?
