Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
Bm       Bm7
Wise men once said
Gmaj7           Bm7
"Wild winds are death to the candle"
  Bm      Bm7 Gmaj7 Bm7
A rose by any other name is a scandal
Bm       Bm7   Gmaj7
Cautions issued, hestood
Bm7
Shooting the messengers
Bm            Bm7         Gmaj7   Bm7
They tried to warn him about     her

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
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       Bm7
Wise men once said
Gmaj7    Bm7
"One bad seed it kills the garden"
Bm        Bm7      Gmaj7     Bm7
"One less temptress, one  less dagger to sharpen"
Bm        Bm7   Gmaj7
Locked me up   in towers
        Bm7               Bm                      Bm7
But I'd visit in your dreams  And they tried to warn
         Gmaj7  Bm7
you about     me

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
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 G                 D      A      Em   G
    And when that sky rains fire on  you
              D        A    Em G
And you're persona non grata
              D        A         Em   G
I'll tell you how I've been there  too
         D          A
And that none of it matters

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Bm       Bm7     Gmaj7
Wise men once read fake news
Bm7
And  they believed it
Bm      Bm7        Gmaj7
Jackals raised their hackles
    Bm7
You couldn't conceive it
Bm       Bm7    Gmaj7                    Bm7
You were sleeping soundly When they dragged
                 Bm                   Bm7
you from your bed  And I tried to warn
         Gmaj7    Bm7
you about     them

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
    D           A
So I crossed my thoughtless heart
Bm          Gmaj7
  Spread my wings like a parachute
D        A
 I'm the albatross
Bm        Gmaj7             D
  I swept in   at the rescue
          A
The devil that you know
Bm          Gmaj7
  Looks now more like an angel
D        A             Bm
 I'm the life you chose
             Gmaj7
And all this terrible danger

[Outro]

              A
So cross your thoughtless heart
Bm Gmaj7 D          A
          She's the albatross
Bm       Gmaj7
  She is here to destroy you
