(Intro)
 
[Bm] [F#] [G] [D] [Em7]
[Bm] [F#] [G] [D] [Em7]
 
(Verse)
 
(ELIZA)
 
I [Bm]saved every letter you w[F#]wrote me
[G]From the moment I r[D]read them
I [Em7]knew you were m[Bm]mine
You said you were m[F#]mine
I thought you were [G]mine [D] [Em7]
 
[Bm]Do you know what An[F#]Angelica said
When we s[G]saw your first letter a[D]arrive? [Em7]
 
She said
 
[Bm]“Be careful with [F#]that one, love
He will [G]do what it takes to sur[D]survive.”
 
 
(Pre-Chorus)
 
[Em7/C#]You and your w[Bm]words flooded my s[F#]senses
Your s[G]sentences left me defe[D]defenseless
[Em7]You built me pal[Bm]palaces out of par[F#]paragraphs
You built cat[G]cathedrals [D] [Em7]
I’m re-re[Bm]re-reading the letters you w[F#]wrote me
I’m se[G]searching and scanning for an[D]answers
In e[Em7]every l[Bm]line
For some kind of s[F#]sign
And when you were m[G]mine
 
The world seemed to
 
 
(Chorus)
 
[D/A]Burn [Bm] [F#m] [F#m/E] [F#/D] [Gmaj7]
[D/A]Burn [Bm] [F#m] [F#m/E] [F#/D] [Gmaj7]
 
 
(Verse)
 
You p[Bm]published the letters she w[F#]wrote you
You [G]told the whole world how you b[D]brought
This girl i[Em7]into our [Bm]bed
In clearing your [F#]name,
you have ruined our l[G]lives [D] [Em7]
 
[Bm]Do you know what An[F#]Angelica said [G]
When she read what you’d d[D]done? [Em7]
She said [Bm]
“You have married an Ic[F#]Icarus
He has f[G]flown too close to the [D]sun.”
 
 
(Pre-Chorus)
 
[Em7/C#]You and your w[Bm]words, obsessed with your l[F#]legacy...
Your se[G]sentences border on sen[D]senseless
[Em7]And you are pa[Bm]paranoid in every pa[F#]paragraph
How they per[G]perceive you
 
You, you, you…
 
 
I’m e[Bm]erasing myself from the n[F#]narrative
Let f[G]uture historians wo[D]nder how E[Em7]liza
[Bm]Reacted when you broke her[F#]her heart
[G]You have torn it all apart
 
I am watching it
 
 
(Chorus)
 
[D/A]Burn [Bm] [F#m] [F#m/E] [F#/D] [Gmaj7]
Watching it [D/A]burn [Bm] [F#m] [F#m/E] [F#/D] [Gmaj7]
 
 
(Bridge)
 
The world has no [A]right to my he[D]heart
The world has no p[D/Bb]place in our bed
They d[Bm7]don’t get to know what I s[Gmaj7]said
I’m b[A]burning the mem[D]memories
Burning the l[D/Bb]letters that might have r[Bm7]redeemed you
You fo[Gmaj7]rfeit all ri[A]ghts to my h[D]eart
You forfeit the p[D/Bb]place in our bed
You'll s[Bm7]sleep in your office in[Gmaj7]instead
With o[A]only the me[D]memories
Of when you w[D/Bb]were mine [D/F#] [D/E] [D] [G]
 
 
(Outro)
 
I hope that you b[Bm]burn [F#] [G] [D] [Em7] [Bm9]
