(ELIZA)
I Bmsaved every letter you wF#rote me
GFrom the moment I Dread them
I Emknew you were Bmmine
You said you were mF#ine
I thought you were GmineD  D/C#  
BmDo you know what AnF#gelica said
When we sGaw your first letter aDrrive?Em  
She said
Bm“Be careful with F#that one, love
He will Gdo what it takes to surDvive.”
[Pre-Chorus]
D/C#You and your Bmwords flooded my F#senses
Your sGentences left me defeDnseless
EmYou built me paBmlaces out of paF#ragraphs
You built catGhedralsD  D/C#  
I’m re-reBmading the letters you wF#rote me
I’m seGarching and scanning for anDswers
In eEmvery Bmline
For some kind of sF#ign
And when you were mGine
The world seemed to

Your seGntences border on senDseless
EmAnd you are pBmaranoid in every pF#aragraph
How they perGceive you
You, you, you…
I’m eBmrasing myself from the nF#arrative
Let fGuture historians woDnder how EEmliza
BmReacted when you broke her F#heart
GYou have torn it all apart
I am watching it

The world has no Aright to my heDart
The world has no pF#mlace in our bed
They dBmon’t get to know what I Gsaid
I’m bAurning the memDories
Burning the lF#metters that might have Bmredeemed you
You foGrfeit alAl rights to Dmy heart
You forfeit the pF#mlace in our bed
You'll sBmleep in your office iGnstead
With oAnly the meDmories
Of when you wF#mere mineD/F#  D/E  D  G
