        Bm  F#  G  D  A/C#

  Bm                    F#
I saved every letter you wrote me
G             D
From the moment I saw you
  A/C#      Bm
I knew you were mine
                F#
You said you were mine
                   G    D  A/C#
I thought you were mine

Bm           F#
Do you know what Angelica said
     G                        D
When I told her what you'd done?
A/C#          Bm
     She said
                     F#
 "You have married an Icarus
      G                        D  
He has flown too close to the sun"
A/C#


Bm                  F#
Don't take another step in my 
direction
  G                 D      A/C#
I can't be trusted around you
Bm                 F#
Don't think you can talk your way
       G               D  A/C#
Into my arms, into my arms
   Bm                       F#
I'm burning the letters you wrote me
         G                       D
You can stand over there if you want
     A/C#          Bm
I don't know who you are

I have so much to learn
G
I'm re-reading your letters
                  D/A   Bm   F#m  G
And watching them burn (burn)
                   D/A   Bm  F#m  G
I'm watching them burn (burn)

  Bm                         F#
You published the letters she wrote 
to you
    G
You told the whole world
          D              A/C#      
How you brought this girl into our 
Bm
bed
               F#
In clearing your name
                G         D  A/C#
You have ruined our lives
Bm                   F#
Heaven forbid someone whisper
                   G
"He's part of some scheme"
            D
Your enemy whispers
   A/C#           Bm
So you have to scream
               F#
I know about whispers
                                D  
I see how you look at my sister
A/C#


Bm     F#
Don't! I'm not naive
G                      D     A/C#
I have seen women around you
Bm                  F#
Don't think I don't see
                      G
How they fall for your charms
          D  A/C#
All your charms
   Bm                      
I'm erasing myself from the 
 F#
narrative
    G                   D
Let future historians wonder
   A/C#      Bm
How Eliza reacted
                 F#
When you broke her heart
G
You have thrown it all away
                  D/A   Bm  F#m  G
Stand back, watch it burn
                  D/A  Bm  F#m  G
Just watch it all burn

                D/A
And when the time comes
               Bm
Explain to the children
           F#m
The pain and embarrassment
               G
You put their mother through
             D/A
When will you learn
               D5+/A#
That they are your legacy?
         Bm
We are your legacy
          D/F#  Em  D   G
If you thought you were mine

(Mine, mine, mine)

Don't
