Dm Bb F C x2
Verse 1:
Dm Bb
I wrote you a letter asked your best friend to send it
F C
But took to the see before you could have read it
Dm Bb
Retreated to snow-capped water of the unknown
F C
Extracted my heart while it was still beating
Dm Bb
But glowing and red and I swear that sweat would
F C
Envelop your arms if you broke down and held it
Pre-Chorus:
Dm Bb F C
I swear I'm a good man I swear I'm a good man
Chorus:
Dm Bb F C
So why don't you love me back
Dm Bb F C
So why don't you love me back
Verse 2:
Dm Bb
Instead of twisting up words you just sat there in silence
F C
And wind burnt homes sighing rays from a sunset
Dm Bb
And all I could hear was the sound of the wasp nest
F C
My head made a home for the hum of the insects
Dm Bb
But my hands shake and shudder at the mention
F C
Of half-hearted reasons why we'll only be friends
Pre-Chorus:
Dm Bb F C
I swear I'm a good man I swear I'm a good man
Chorus:
Dm Bb F C
So why don't you love me back
Dm Bb F C
So why don't you love me back
Dm Bb F C
So why don't you love me back
Dm Bb F C
So why don't you love me back
