Shooting the messengers

Cross your thoughtless heart

Locked me up in towers

You're in terrible danger
Bridge:
Em Gmaj7 D A Em

I'll tell you how I've been there too

And I tried to warn you about them

So I crossed my thoughtless heart
Bm Gmaj7
Spread my wings like a parachute

I'm the albatross
Bm Gmaj7
I swept in at the rescue

The devil that you know
Bm Gmaj7
Looks now more like an angel

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
