The repeated high note is a G# Intro: C#m A E-E2-E (Verse 1) C#m I wrote you a letter A Asked your best friend to send it E E2 E But took to the sea before you could have read it C#m A Retreated to snowcapped waters of the unknown E E2 E Extracted my heart while it was still beating C#m But glowing and red A And I swear that sweat would E E2 E Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it (Chorus) C#m A I swear I'm a good man E E2 E I swear I'm a good man C#m A E E2 E So why don't you love me back? (Verse 2) C#m A Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence E E2 E In wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset C#m A And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest E E2 E My head made a home for the hum of the insects C#m A But my hands shake and shudder at the mention E E2 E Of half written reasons why we'll only be friends C#m A I swear I'm a good man E E2 E I swear I'm a good man C#m A E E2 E So why don't you love me back?
