Tom: Am
Am G F
[Verse 1]
Am G/B
I've been smoking, oh
C
More than twenty a day
Am G/B
Blame it on rebellion
C
Don't blame it on me
Am G/B
Wish I was younger
C
Back to the nineteenth of May
Am G
I had an open mind
F
Swore to never change
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G/B C
Funny how time goes by
Am
Had respect for myself
G/B C
That river ran dry
Am
You reached the limit
G/B C
I wasn't enough
Am G F
It's like the fire replaced all the love
[Chorus]
Am
I've been burning
G/B C
Yes, I've been burning
Am
Such a burden
G/B C
This flame on my chest
Am G/B C
No insurance to pay for the damage
Am G F
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
[Verse 2]
Am G/B
Oh, have you ever called
C
I will burst straight back
Am G/B
Give you my forgiveness
C
And the shirt off my back
Am G/B
No friends to turn to
C
Yeah, I messed up that
Am
Wish we could smoke again
G F
Just for a day, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G/B C
Funny how time goes by
Am
Had respect for myself
G/B C
That river ran dry
Am
You reached the limit
G/B C
I wasn't enough
Am G F
It's like the fire replaced all the love
[Chorus]
Am
I've been burning
G/B C
Yes, I've been burning
Am
Such a burden
G/B C
This flame on my chest
Am G/B C
No insurance to pay for the damage
Am G F
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
[Outro]
Am G/B C
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
Am G F
Oooh, I've been burning up since you left
