[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 "One less temptress,
Gmaj7 A

A Bm
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
