[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                 
 And they tried to 
D          Gmaj7  A
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  
     And when that sky
       A     Em
 rains fire on you
Gmaj7          D   
 And you\'re persona 
     A
non grata
Em Gmaj7           D  
     I\'ll tell you how
      A          Em
 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         
 when they dragged you
            Bm
 from your bed
                D   
 And I tried to warn 
        Gmaj7 A
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  
 And all this terrible
      D   A
 danger
Bm    Gmaj7        D   A
 This terrible danger
D             
 So cross your 
 A             Bm   G
thoughtless heart
D          A
 She\'s the albatross
Bm      Gmaj7
 She is here to destroy you
