Intro
[Em]Wait for the signal
and I'll [Em]meet you after [Em]dark [D]
[Em] [D] [Em] [D] [C]
Verse 1
[Em]Vintage [D]tee, brand new [Em]phone
High heels [D]on cobble[Em]stones
When you are [D]young they assume you know [C]nothing
[Em]Sequined [D]smile, black lip[Em]stick, sens[D]ual poli[Em]tics
When you are [D]young, they assume you know [C]nothing
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 man
Verse 2
[Em]Wise men [D]once said
"[G]One bad seed [C]kills the garden"
"[Em]One less [D]temptress is
[G]one less [C]dagger to sharpen"
[Em]Locked me [D]up in [G]towers
But I'd [C]visit in your dreams
[Em]And they tried to [D]warn you a[G]bout me[C]
Chorus
[Em]But I knew [D]you
Playing hide-and-[Em]seek and
Giving me your [D]weekends, I
[Em]I knew y[D]ou
Your heartbeat on the [C]High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
[Em]And when I [D]felt like I was an old [Em]cardigan
Under [D]someone's bed [Em]
You put me [D]on and said I was your [C]favorite
Bridge
[Bm] [Em]
[Am]Life was a willow and it [G]bent right to your [Bm]wind [Em]
[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]wind [Em]
[Am]But I come back [G]stronger than a 90's trend
And when that [G]sky rains[D] fire on [Em]you [C]
And [G]you're persona [D]non grata [Em] [C]
I'll [G]tell you how I've [D]been there [Em]too [C]
And [G]that none of it [D]matters [Em] [C]
To kiss in [G]cars, in downtown bars
was all we [Bm]needed
You drew [A]stars around my scars
But now I'm [G]bleedin'
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 [G]my man
Verse 3
[Em]Wise men [D]once read [G]fake news
[C]And they believed it
[Em]Jackals [D]raised their [G]hackles
[C]You couldn't conceive it
[Em]You were [D]sleeping [G]soundly
[C]When they dragged you from your bed
[Em]And I tried to [D]warn you about [G]them [C]
Chorus
So I [G]crossed my [D]thoughtless heart
[Em]Spread my wings [C]like a parachute
[G]I'm the [D]albatross
[Em]I swept in [C]at the rescue
[G]The devil that[D] you know
[Em]Looks now more [C]like an angel
[G]I'm the [D]life you chose
And [Em]all this [C]terrible danger
So [G]cross your [D]thoughtless heart
[Em]She's the [C]albatross
[G]She is here to [D]destroy you
[D]
Outro
But I knew you'd [D]linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd [A]haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of [G]smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew [A]everything when I was young
I knew I'd [D]curse you for the longest time
Chasin' [A]shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd [G]miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be [A]standin' in my front porch light
And you'd come [Em]back to me
And you'd come [A]back to me
And you'd come [G]back to me
And you'd come [A]back
[G] [A] [G]
I'm begging for [D]you to take my [Am]hand
Wreck my [Em]plans, that's my man
