[Am] Wise men [G] once said
[C] "Wild winds are [F] death to the candle"
[Am] A rose by [G] any [C] other name [F] is a scandal
[Am] Cautions [G] issued, [C] he stood
[G] Shooting the messengers
[Am] They tried to [G] warn him about[C] her[F]
[C] Cross your [G] thoughtless heart
[Am] Only [F] liquor anoints you
[C] She's the [G] albatross
[Am] She is here to [F] destroy you
[Am] Wise men [G] once said
"[C] One bad seed [F] kills the garden"
"[Am] One less [G] temptress
[C] One less [F] dagger to sharpen"
[Am] Locked me [G] up in [C] towers
[F] But I'd visit in your dreams
[Am] And they tried to [G] warn you [C] about [F] me
[C] Cross your [G] thoughtless heart
[Am] Only liquor [F] anoints you
[C] She's the [G] albatross
[Am] She is here [F] to destroy you
[C] Devils that [G] you know
[Am] Raise worse [F] hell than a stranger
[C] She's the [G] death you chose
[Am] You're in [F] terrible danger
And when that [C] sky rains[G] fire on [Am] you[F]
And [C] you're persona [G] non grata[Am] [F]
I'll [C] tell you how I've [G] been there [Am] too[F]
And [C] that none of it [G] matters[Am] [F]
[Am] Wise men [G] once read [C] fake news
[F] And they believed it
[Am] Jackals [G] raised their[C] hackles
[F] You couldn't conceive it
[Am] You were [G] sleeping [C] soundly
[F] When they dragged you from your bed
[Am] And I tried to [G] warn you about [C] them[F]
So I [C] crossed my [G] thoughtless heart
[Am] Spread my wings [F] like a parachute
[C] I'm the [G] albatross
[Am] I swept in [F] at the rescue
[C] The devil that[G] you know
[Am] Looks now more [F] like an angel
[C] I'm the [G] life you chose
And [Am] all this [F] terrible danger
So [C] cross your [G] thoughtless heart
[Am] She's the [F] albatross
[C] She is here to [G] destroy you
