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