(ELIZA)

  Bm                      F#
I saved every letter you wrote me
G                   D
  From the moment I read them
  Em            Bm
I knew you were mine
                   F#
You said you were mine
                   G     D  D/C#
I thought you were mine

Bm                    F#
   Do you know what Angelica said
         G                     D       Em
When we saw your first letter arrive?

She said

Bm               F# 
“Be careful with that one, love
        G                      D        
He will do what it takes to survive.”


[Pre-Chorus]

D/C#         Bm               F#          
You and your words flooded my senses
      G                    D
Your sentences left me defenseless
Em             Bm             F#
You built me palaces out of paragraphs
             G        D  D/C#
You built cathedrals
         Bm                     F#
I’m re-reading the letters you wrote me
      G                          D
I’m searching and scanning for answers
    Em   Bm 
In every line
                  F#
For some kind of sign
                   G
And when you were mine

The world seemed to


[Chorus]

D    Bm  F#m  F#m/E  F#m/D  Gmaj7
Burn
D    Bm  F#m  F#m/E  F#m/D  Gmaj7
Burn


[Verse]

     Bm                        F#
You published the letters she wrote you
    G                             D
You told the whole world how you brought
           Em      Bm
This girl into our bed
                 F#                         G    D  Em7
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives

Bm                 F#           G
Do you know what Angelica said
                          D     Em
When she read what you’d done?
         Bm
She said
                       F#
“You have married an Icarus
        G                      D 
He has flown too close to the sun.”


[Pre-Chorus]

C#dim        Bm                        F#
You and your words, obsessed with your legacy...
       G                    D
Your sentences border on senseless
Em           Bm                F#
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
            G
How they perceive you

You, you, you…


     Bm                      F#
I’m erasing myself from the narrative
     G                  D         Em
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Bm                        F#
Reacted when you broke her heart
G
You have torn it all apart

I am watching it


[Chorus]

D/A  Bm  F#m  F#m/E  F#m/D  Gmaj7
Burn
            D/A  Bm  F#m  F#m/E  F#m/D  Gmaj7
Watching it burn


[Bridge]

                 A             D
The world has no right to my heart
                  F#m
The world has no place in our bed
      Bm                      G
They don’t get to know what I said
     A             D
I’m burning the memories
             F#m                    Bm
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
      G       A           D
You forfeit all rights to my heart
                 F#m
You forfeit the place in our bed
        Bm                   G
You'll sleep in your office instead
      A         D
With only the memories
             F#m      D/F#  D/E  D G
Of when you were mine


[Outro]

                Bm  F#  G  D Em  Bm9 
I hope that you   burn
