You have invented a new kind of stupid
Eb
A damage you can never undo kind of stupid
Ebmaj7/G
An "open all the cages in the zoo" kind of stupid
Bb/Ab
Truly, you didn't think this through? kind of stupid
Cm7
Let's review
Eb
You took a rumor a few, maybe two people knew
Gm
and refuted it by sharing an affair of which no one has accused you
Bb/Ab
I begged you to take a break, you refused to
Cm7
So scared of what your enemies will do to you
Eb
You're the only enemy you ever seem to lose to
Ebmaj7/G
You know why Jefferson can do what he wants

He doesn't dignify schoolyard taunts with a response

So yeah, congratulations!

Eb
Angelica...

Ebmaj7/G
You've redefined your legacy, congratulations

I languished in a loveless marriage in London
Eb/Bb
I lived only to read your letters
Abmaj7
I look at you and think God what have we done with our
Eb/G
lives and what did it get us
Fm9
That doesn't wipe the tears or the years away

but I'm back in the city and I'm here to stay
Abmaj7
and you know what I'm here to do

I know my sister like I know my own mind
Eb/G Ab11
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
Cm7 Ebsus2
And a million years ago she said to me "this one's mine"
Ab
So I stood by
G
Do you know why?
Cm7 Eb/Bb
I love my sister more than anything in this life
Eb/G Abmaj7 G7
I will choose her happiness over mine every time
