[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
  One less dagger to sharpen"
 Bm        D     Gmaj7
 Locked me up in towers
         A
 But I'd visit in your dreams
Bm                 D          Gmaj7  A
 And they tried to warn you about me
 
 
[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
D       A
 Devils that you know
Bm           Gmaj7
 Raise worse hell than a stranger
D          A
 She's the death you chose
Bm         Gmaj7
 You're in terrible danger
 
 
[Bridge]
Em Gmaj7           D         A     Em
     And when that sky rains fire on you
Gmaj7          D        A
 And you're persona non grata
Em Gmaj7           D        A          Em
     I'll tell you how I've been there too
Gmaj7     D          A
 And that none of it matters
 
 
[Chorus]
 Bm       D         Gmaj7
 Wise men once read fake news
 A
 And they believed it
 Bm      D            Gmaj7
 Jackals raised their hackles
     A
 You couldn't conceive it
 Bm       D        Gmaj7     
 You were sleeping soundly 
           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
