-Verse-
[Bm]Wise men [A]once said
[D]"Wild winds are [G]death to the candle"
[Bm]A rose by [A]any [D]other name [G]is a scandal
[Bm]Cautions [A]issued, [D]he stood
[A]Shooting the messengers
[Bm]They tried to [A]warn him about[D] her[G]
-Chorus-
[D]Cross your [A]thoughtless heart
[Bm]Only [G]liquor anoints you
[D]She's the [A]albatross
[Bm]She is here to [G]destroy you
-Verse-
[Em]Life was a willow and it [D]bent right to your [Em] [D]wind
[Em]Head on the pillow, I could [D]feel you [C]sneakin' in
[Em] As if you were a [D]mythical thing
[Em] Like you were a [D]trophy or a champion [Em]ring
And there was one [D]prize I'd [C]cheat to win
-Chorus-
[G] The more that you [D]say, the less I [Am]know
Wherever you [Em]stray, I [G]follow
I'm begging for [D]you to take my [Am]hand
Wreck my [Em]plans, that's my [G]man
You know that my [D]train could take you [Am]home
Anywhere [Em]else is [G]hollow
I'm begging for [D]you to take my [Am]hand
Wreck my [Em]plans, that's my man
[Bm] [Em]
-Bridge-
[Am]Life was a willow and it [G]bent right to your [Bm] [Em]wind
[Am] They count me out[G] time and time a[Bm]gain[Em]
[Am]Life was a willow and it [G]bent right to your [Bm] [Em]wind
[Am] But I come back [G]stronger than a 90's trend
And when that [D]sky rains[A] fire on [Bm]you[G]
And [D]you're persona [A]non grata[Bm] [G]
I'll [D]tell you how I've [A]been there [Bm]too[G]
And [D]that none of it [A]matters[Bm] [G]
[D] [Am] [Em] [G]
-Chorus-
The more that you [D]say the less I [Am]know
Wherever you [Em]stray, I [G]follow
I'm begging for [D]you to take my [Am]hand
Wreck my [Em]plans, that's my [G]man
You know that my [D]train could take you [Am]home
Anywhere [Em]else is [G]hollow
I'm begging for [D]you to take my [Am]hand
Wreck my [Em]plans
That's [G]my [D]man
-Outro-
Hey, that's my [Am]man [Em]
That's my [G] [D]man
Yeah, that's my [Am]man
Baby, every [Em]bait-and-switch was a work [G]of art
That's [D]my [Am]man
Hey, that's my [Em]man [G]
So I [D]crossed my [A]thoughtless heart
[Bm]Spread my wings [G]like a parachute
[D]I'm the [A]albatross
[Bm]I swept in [G]at the rescue
[D]The devil that[A] you know
[Bm]Looks now more [G]like an angel
[D]I'm the [A]life you chose
And [Bm]all this [G]terrible danger
So [D]cross your [A]thoughtless heart
[Bm]She's the [G]albatross
[D]She is here to [A]destroy you [Bm]
[G] I'm begging for [D]you to take my [Am]hand
Wreck my [Em]plans, that's my man
