Bm       D
Wise man once said
  G7M            A
"Wild winds are death to the candle"
   Bm      D   G7M   A
A rose by any other name is a 
scandal
Bm       D       G7M
Cautions issued, he stood
A
Shooting the messengers
Bm            A         G7M      D
They tried to warn him about her

[Estribillo]

D           A
Cross your thoughtless heart
Bm    G7M
Only liquor anoints you
D          A
She's the albatross
Bm      G7M
She is here to destroy you

Wise man once said

 Bm       D          G7M      A
"One less temptress, one less dagger
To sharpen"
Bm        D     G7M
Locked me up in towers
         A
But I'd visit in your dreams
Bm                 D          
And they tried to warn you 
G7M    A
about me

D           A
Cross your thoughtless heart
Bm    G7M
Only liquor anoints you
D          A
She's the albatross
Bm      G7M
She is here to destroy you
D       A
Devils that you know
Bm           G7M
Raise worse hell than a stranger
D          A
She's the death you chose
Bm         G7M
You're in terrible danger

[Puente]

Em G7M             D         A  
    And when that sky rains fire
   Em
 on
You
G7M            D        A
And you're persona non grata
Em G7M             D        A
    I'll tell you how I've been 
there
Em
Too
G7M       D          A
And that none of it matters

[Estribillo]

Bm       D         G7M
Wise men once read fake news
A
And they believed it
Bm      D            G7M
Jackals raised their hackles
     A
You couldn't conceive it
Bm       D        G7M
You were sleeping soundly when they
A                     Bm
Dragged you from your bed
                D           G7M   A
And I tried to warn you about them

[Estribillo]

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