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 [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?
