Burn one down

G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G

1. I guess you're off to have your fun,

A

another ending just begun,

C

and I know what I don't see,

D

really shouldn't bother me.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - G

2. So go and have yourself a ball,

A

you'll be at no one's beck and call,

C D

and with that fire in your eyes, another lover's moon will rise,

G - G7

and someone else will take the fall.

C G

And that's just the way you are, I've known all along,

A D

some candles always burn even when the night is gone.

C Em

But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally,

C D

when you find another friend who'll light your candle up again,

G

you can burn one down for me.

3. So you don't matter anymore

A

I'll convince myself, I'm sure,

C

as if I give a damn,

D

that's just the way I am.

G

4. So go on and pour yourself some wine,

A

with who'll ever spend your time,

C D

'cause anyone can see, you won't be crying over me,

G - G7

and you never were that kind.

C G

And that's just the way you are, I've known all along,

A D

some candles always burn even when the night is gone.

C Em

But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally,

C D

when you find another friend who'll light your candle up again,

G

you can burn one down for me.

C D

When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again,

C - D – G – C - G

You can burn one down for me.
