Burning Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Can't even begin to explain
This [A]all too well familiar [D]pain
[A]It comes [Bm]and it goes
But it gets in my bones all the same,
[G]ooh

[Verse 2]
Well, [Bm]maybe I'm a fool
For fall[G]ing in love with you
When [D]I had nothing left to l[A]ose[D]
And noth[Bm]ing more I could give
Went down [G]with your sinking ship
Now [D]I don't think I'll
make [A]it through
[D]Through

[Verse 3]
Now it's [D]only the beat of my [Bm]heart
That reminds me not to stare
at [G]the sparks
Can't set fire to my soul just [A]to keep ya
Keep ya
Keep ya from burning [D]alone
'Cause the longer you
convince me [Bm]to stay
Our salvation's slipping
further [G]away
Can't set fire to my soul just to [A]keep ya
Keep ya
Keep ya from burning alone
[D]

[Verse 4]
Forget everything we've come to expect
It only [A]serves to further
fuck with our heads
And I don't wan[Bm]na pretend
This will all be alright in the [G]end, ooh

[Verse 5]
So [Bm]maybe now,
instead of bal[G]ancing on the edge
We [D]can put this to bed for [A]good
Can [Bm]call it quits or risk sinking
[G]with this broken ship
But [D]I don't think we'd
make [A]it through
[D]Through

[Verse 6]
Now it's [D]only the beat of my [Bm]heart
That reminds me not to stare
at [G]the sparks
Can't set fire to my soul just to [A]keep ya
Keep ya
Keep ya from burning [D]alone
'Cause the longer you convince
me [Bm]to stay
Our salvation's slipping
further [G]away
Can't set fire to my soul just to [A]keep ya
Keep ya
Keep ya from burning [Bm]alone

[Verse 7]
I wish I could [G]stay
I wish I could [D]lie
Do whatever it [A]takes to get
you through [Bm]the night
I can't be the [G]one
I can't take the [D]fall
Can't go up in [A]the flames to
keep your body [D]warm

[Verse 8]
Now it's [D]only the beat of my [Bm]heart
That [A]remind[Bm]s me not
[Bm]to stare at the [G]sparks
Can't set fire to my soul just [A]to keep ya
Keep ya
Keep ya from burning [D]alone
'Cause the longer you
convince me [Bm]to stay
Our salvation's slipping
further [G]away
Can't set fire to my soul just to [A]keep ya
Keep ya
Keep ya from burning alone
