Burning (video)

D ~

D A

1. Can't even begin to explain this all too well familiar pain,

Bm G

it comes and it goes but it gets in my bones all the same, ooh-ooh.

Bm G

Well, maybe I'm a fool for falling in love with you,

- D A

when I had nothing left to lose.

Bm G

And nothing more I could give, went down with your sinking ship,

- D A - - - - - -

now I don't think I'll make it through. Through.

D Bm

Now it's only the beat of my heart

G

that reminds me not to stare at the sparks.

Can't set fire to my soul just to

A D

keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone.

Bm

'Cause, the longer you convince me to stay,

G

our salvation's slipping further away.

Can't set fire to my soul just to.

A D

keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone.

D

2. Forget evеrything we've come to еxpect,

A

it only serves to further fuck with our heads,

Bm G

and I don't wanna pretend this will all be alright in the end.

Bm G

So maybe, now, instead of balancing on the edge

- D A

we could put this to bed for good.

Bm G

Can call it quits or risk sinking with this broken ship,

- D A - - - - - -

but I don't think we'd make it through. Through !

D Bm

Now it's only the beat of my heart

G

that reminds me not to stare at the sparks.

Can't set fire to my soul just to

A D

keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone.

Bm

'Cause, the longer you convince me to stay,

G

our salvation's slipping further away.

Can't set fire to my soul just to

A Bm

keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone.

Bm G D

+ I wish I could stay, I wish I could lie,

A

do whatever it takes to get you through the night.

Bm G D

I can't be the one, I can't take the fall,

A D

can't go up in the flames to keep your body warm.

+ CHORUS (ending in D)
