[Intro]
Am Am7/G Fmaj7 Am7/G
Am Am7/G C
 
[Verse 1]
Am       Am7/G
Wise men once said
 Fmaj7           Am7/G
"Wild winds are death to the candle"
  Am      Am7/G Fmaj7  Am7/G
A rose by any    other name is a scandal
Am       Am7/G   Fmaj7
Cautions issued, she stood
Am7/G
Shooting the messengers
Am            Am7/G       Fmaj7    Am7/G
They tried to warn him about her
 
[Chorus]
C           Gadd11
 Cross your thoughtless heart
Am     Fmaj7
  Only liquor anoints you
C          Gadd11
 She's the albatross
Am       Fmaj7
  She is here to destroy you
 
[Verse 2]
Am       Am7/G
Wise men once said
Fmaj7     Am7/G
"One bad seed kills the garden"
Am       Am7/G
"One less temptress
Fmaj7     Am7/G
One less dagger to sharpen"
Am        Am7/G Fmaj7
Locked me up in towers
        Am7/G            Am
But I'd visit in your dreams
                  Am7/G       Fmaj7   Am7/G
And they tried to warn you about me
 
[Chorus]
C           Gadd11
 Cross your thoughtless heart
Am     Fmaj7
  Only liquor anoints you
C          Gadd11
 She's the albatross
Am       Fmaj7
  She is here to destroy you
C       Gadd11
 Devils that you know
Am            Fmaj7
  Raise worse hell than a stranger
C          Gadd11
 She's the death you chose
Am          C
  You're in terrible danger
 
[Verse 3]
C
 I, I loved you in secret
Am                    Gadd11
 First sight, yeah, we love without reason
C
 Oh, twenty-five years old
Am            Gadd11
 Oh, how were you to know, and
C
 My, my love had been frozen
Am                  Gadd11
 Deep blue, but you painted me golden
C
 Oh, and you held me close
Am           Gadd11
 Oh, how was I to know that
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I could've spent forever with your hands in my pockets
Am                            Gadd11
Picture of your face in an invisible locket
C
You said there was nothing in the world that could stop it
     Am          Gadd11
I had a bad feeling
            C
And darling, you had turned my bed into a sacred oasis
Am                              Gadd11
People started talking, putting us through our paces
C
I knew there was no one in the world who could take it
      Am         Gadd11
I had a bad feeling
 
[Chorus]
               C     Csus4
But we were dancing
                Am7           Am7/G
Dancing with our   hands tied, hands tied
               C     Csus4
Yeah, we were dancing
                Am          Am7/G
Like it was the  first time, first time
               C     Csus4
Yeah, we were dancing
                Am            Am7/G
Dancing with our  hands tied, hands tied
               C     Csus4
Yeah, we were dancing
           Am        Gadd11
And I had a bad feeling
             C
But we were dancing
 
[Bridge]
C                              Am
I'd kiss you as the lights went out
Am7/G                        C
  Swaying as the room burned down
                           Am       Am7/G
I'd hold you as the water rushes in
                      C
If I could dance with you again
                               Am
I'd kiss you as the lights went out
Am7/G                      C
  Swaying as the room burned down
                          Am        Am7/G  Fmaj7
I'd hold you as the water rushes in
 
               C        Gadd11 Fmaj7
And when that sky rains fire on you
              C         Gadd11 Fmaj7
And you're persona non grataa - aah
               C       Gadd11   Fmaj7
I'll tell you how I've been there too
          C          Gadd11
And that none of it matters
 
[Verse 3]
Am       Am7/G     Fmaj7
Wise men once read fake news
Am7/G
And  they believed it
Am      Am7/G        Fmaj7
Jackals raised their hackles
    Am7/G
You couldn't conceive it
Am       Am7/G    Fmaj7                    Am7/G
You were sleeping soundly When they dragged
                 Am                   Am7/G
you from your bed  And I tried to warn
         C    Am7/G
you about  them
 
[Chorus]
    C           Gadd11
So I crossed my thoughtless heart
Am          Fmaj7
  Spread my wings like a parachute
C        Gadd11
 I'm the albatross
Am        C
  I swept in   at the rescue
       Gadd11
Devils that you know
Am          Fmaj7
  Looks now more like an angel
C        Gadd11      Am
 I'm the life you chose
             Fmaj7        C   Gadd11 Am
And all this terrible danger
  Fmaj7          C   Gadd11 C
This terrible danger
 
[Outro]
                   Gadd11
But we were dancing
                 Am          C
Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied
                     Gadd11
Yeah, we were dancing
                 Am          C
Like it was the first time, first time
 
C Gadd11 C/G C
 
C        G
She' the albatross
Am     C
She is here to destroy you
