Cautions issued, he stood
A
Shooting the messengers
Bm            A         G7M      D
They tried to warn him about her

Em G7M             D         A     Em
    And when that sky rains fire on
You
G7M            D        A
And you're persona non grata

Dragged you from your bed
                D           G7M   A
And I tried to warn you about them

Bm         G7M
Spread my wings like a parachute
D        A
I'm the albatross
Bm       G7M
I swept in at the rescue
D          A
The devil that you know
Bm         G7M
Looks now more like an angel
D        A
I'm the life you chose
Bm            G7M          D   A
And all this terrible danger
Bm    G7M          D   A
This terrible danger

So cross your thoughtless heart
D          A
She's the albatross
Bm      G7M
She is here to destroy you
