Instead of C#m/G#twisting up words you just Asat there in silence
In Ewind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
And C#m/G#all I could hear was the Asound of the wasp nest
My Ehead made a home for the hum of the insects
But C#m/G#my hands shake and Ashudder at the mention
Of Ehalf written reasons why we'll only be friends

[Intro]

C#m/G# A E

[Verse 1]

C#m

I wrote you a letter

Asked your best friend to send it

But took to the sea before you could have read it

C#m/G# A

Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown

Extracted my heart while it was still beating

C#m

But glowing and red

And I swear that sweat would

Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it

[Chorus]

C#m/G# A

I swear I'm a good man

C#m/G# A E Eadd9 E

So why don't you love me back?

C#m/G# A E Eadd9 E

So why don't you love me back?

[Verse 2]

C#m/G# A

Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence

In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset

C#m/G# A

And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest

My head made a home for the hum of the insects

C#m/G# A

But my hands shake and shudder at the mention

Of half written reasons why we'll only be friends

[Chorus]

C#m/G# A

I swear I'm a good man

C#m/G# A E Eadd9 E

So why don't you love me back?

C#m/G# A E Eadd9 E

So why don't you love me back?

C#m/G# A E Eadd9 E

So why don't you love me back?

C#m/G# A E Eadd9 E

So why don't you love me back?

C#m/G# A E Eadd9 E

So why don't you love me back?

C#m/G# A E Eadd9 E

So why don't you love me back?
