Intro
[Bm]Wait for the signal
and I'll [Bm]meet you after [Bm]dark [A]
[Bm] [A] [Bm] [A] [G]
Verse 1
[Bm]Vintage [A]tee, brand new [Bm]phone
High heels [A]on cobble [Bm]stones
When you are [A]young they assume you know [G]nothing
[Bm]Sequined [A]smile, black lip [Bm]stick, sens [A]ual poli [Bm]tics
When you are [A]young, they assume you know [G]nothing
Chorus
[D]The more that you [A]say, the less I [Em]know
Wherever you [Bm]stray, I [D]follow
I'm begging for [A]you to take my [Em]hand
Wreck my [Bm]plans, that's my man
Verse 2
[Bm]Wise men [A]once said
" [D]One bad seed [G]kills the garden"
" [Bm]One less [A]temptress is
[D]one less [G]dagger to sharpen"
[Bm]Locked me [A]up in [D]towers
But I'd [G]visit in your dreams
[Bm]And they tried to [A]warn you a [D]bout me [G]
Chorus
[Bm]But I knew [A]you
Playing hide-and- [Bm]seek and
Giving me your [A]weekends, I
[Bm]I knew y [A]ou
Your heartbeat on the [G]High Line
Once in twenty lifetimes, I
[Bm]And when I [A]felt like I was an old [Bm]cardigan
Under [A]someone's bed [Bm]
You put me [A]on and said I was your [G]favorite
Bridge
[F#m] [Bm]
[Em]Life was a willow and it [D]bent right to your [F#m]wind [Bm]
[Em]They count me out [D]time and time a [F#m]gain [Bm]
[Em]Life was a willow and it [D]bent right to your [F#m]wind [Bm]
[Em]But I come back [D]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]
To kiss in [D]cars, in downtown bars
was all we [F#m]needed
You drew [E]stars around my scars
But now I'm [D]bleedin'
Chorus
[D]The more that you [A]say the less I [Em]know
Wherever you [Bm]stray, I [D]follow
I'm begging for [A]you to take my [Em]hand
Wreck my [Bm]plans, that's my [D]man
You know that my [A]train could take you [Em]home
Anywhere [Bm]else is [D]hollow
I'm begging for [A]you to take my [Em]hand
Wreck my [Bm]plans, that's [D]my man
Verse 3
[Bm]Wise men [A]once read [D]fake news
[G]And they believed it
[Bm]Jackals [A]raised their [D]hackles
[G]You couldn't conceive it
[Bm]You were [A]sleeping [D]soundly
[G]When they dragged you from your bed
[Bm]And I tried to [A]warn you about [D]them [G]
Chorus
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
[A]
Outro
But I knew you'd [A]linger like a tattoo kiss
I knew you'd [E]haunt all of my what-ifs
The smell of [D]smoke would hang around this long
'Cause I knew [E]everything when I was young
I knew I'd [A]curse you for the longest time
Chasin' [E]shadows in the grocery line
I knew you'd [D]miss me once the thrill expired
And you'd be [E]standin' in my front porch light
And you'd come [Bm]back to me
And you'd come [E]back to me
And you'd come [D]back to me
And you'd come [E]back
[D] [E] [D]
I'm begging for [A]you to take my [Em]hand
Wreck my [Bm]plans, that's my man
