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]But took to the[E2] sea before yo[E]u could have read it
[C#m]Retreated to sn[A]owcapped waters of the unknown
[E]Extracted my he[E2]art while it w[E]as still beating
[C#m]But glowing and red
[A]And I swear that sweat would
[E]Envelop your ar[E2]ms if you brok[E]e down and held it
(Chorus)
[C#m]I swear[A] I'm a good man
[E]I s[E2]wear[E] I'm a good man
[C#m]So wh[A]y d[E]on'[E2]t yo[E]u love me back?
(Verse 2)
[C#m]Instead of twisting u[A]p words you just sat there in silence
[E]In wind burnt homes [E2]sighing rays from [E]a sunset
[C#m]And all I could hear[A] was the sound of the wasp nest
[E]My head made a home [E2]for the hum of the[E] insects
[C#m]But my hands shake a[A]nd shudder at the mention
[E]Of half written reas[E2]ons why we'll only[E] be friends
[C#m]I swear I'm a good [A]man
[E]I s[E2]wear[E] I'm a good man
[C#m]So wh[A]y d[E]on'[E2]t yo[E]u love me back?
