Tom: E
E
[Verse]
E A
I can talk my way out of trouble with a smoke and a smile
E B
But she dealt me a handful and played along for awhile
E A
But when I woke up to goodbye, coffee black with pain !
E B E
She left me she found me half empty again
[Verse]
E A
I ran for a remedy, whatever fit the bill
E B
And I followed the script closely whiskey, women, and pills
E A
Still the heart ache lingers on as I run myself down
E B E
Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!
[Chorus]
A C#m
Sometimes there ain't better way around
A B
Everyone got something to say to how to make the flame go down
A C#m
But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt
A B E
Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!! Mmmhmmmmm!
[Verse]
E A
And here I am living backwards chained to the past
E B
Days spent running through memories and old photographs
E A
And all the colors and majestic, pale yellow and blues
E B E
I've gotta let em all go to forget about you!
[Chorus]
A C#m
Sometimes there ain't better way around
A B
Everyone got something to say to how to make the flame go down
A C#m
But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt
A B E
Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!! Mmmhmmmmm!
A C#m
Whoooo
A B
Whoooo
A C#m
But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt
A B E
Oh you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out
A B E
No you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out Whoooo
A B C#m
you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out Ohhhhhh
A B E
you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out
