Remove Ads[Verse 1]
Bm D Wise man once said
Gmaj7 A "Wild winds are death to the candle"
Bm D Gmaj7 A A rose by any other name is a scandal
Bm D Gmaj7 Cautions issued, he stood
A Shooting the messengers
Bm A Gmaj7 D They tried to warn him about her
[Chorus]
D A Cross your thoughtless heart
Bm Gmaj7 Only liquor anoints you
D A She's the albatross
Bm Gmaj7 She is here to destroy you
[Verse 2]
Bm D Wise man once said
Gmaj7 A "One bad seed kills the garden"
Bm D Gmaj7 A "One less temptress, one less dagger to sharpen"
Bm D Gmaj7 Locked me up in towers
A But I'd visit in your dreams
Bm D Gmaj7 A And they tried to warn you about me
[Chorus]
D A Cross your thoughtless heart
Bm Gmaj7 Only liquor anoints you
D A She's the albatross
Bm Gmaj7 She is here to destroy you
D A Devils that you know
Bm Gmaj7 Raise worse hell than a stranger
D A She's the death you chose
Bm Gmaj7 You're in terrible danger
[Bridge]
Em Gmaj7 D A Em And when that sky rains fire on you
Gmaj7 D A And you're persona non grata
Em Gmaj7 D A Em I'll tell you how I've been there too
Gmaj7 D A And that none of it matters
[Chorus]
Bm D Gmaj7 Wise men once read fake news
A And they believed it
Bm D Gmaj7 Jackals raised their hackles
A You couldn't conceive it
Bm D Gmaj7 A Bm You were sleeping soundly when they dragged you from your bed
D Gmaj7 A And I tried to warn you about them
[Chorus]
D A So I crossed my thoughtless heart
Bm Gmaj7 Spread my wings like a parachute
D A I'm the albatross
Bm Gmaj7 I swept in at the rescue
D A The devil that you know
Bm Gmaj7 Looks now more like an angel
D A I'm the life you chose
Bm Gmaj7 D A And all this terrible danger
Bm Gmaj7 D A This terrible danger
D A Bm G So cross your thoughtless heart
D A She's the albatross
Bm Gmaj7 She is here to destroy you
