Burn

Intro 
Bm  A  G  Em 
Bm  A  G  Em 



[Verso 1]
 
               Bm 
She said, "Can I come home?" 
         A 
He could hear the lighter flicker 
        G 
Another rush to the dome 
       Em 
As her words became thicker 
    Bm 
For her to spit out 
       A 
She'll never be the same 
       G 
As the girl he once knew 
        Em 
Who was lost in the fame 
Bm  A  G  Em 
 


[Verso 2]
 
        Bm 
Another night on the couch 
   A 
He couldn't sleep a wink 
     G 
A 50 gram in a pouch 
Em 
Mixed that with a drink 
       Bm 
But it won't fix the hurt 
A 
She's already gone 
          G 
She's the homecoming queen 
       Em 
If she ever came home 
 


[Refrão]
 
     Bm                     A 
It's all an addiction, it's all a curse 
       G                   Em 
If you wanted a rush, it's in your purse 
Bm          A                G     Em 
Next to the last two tickets home 
           Bm                      A 
You'll run rock in the wounds on a backstreet deal 
    G                   Em 
The pain is feeling you cannot heal 
Bm              A 
Maybe you won't learn 
                G 
Maybe you won't learn 
    Em                  Bm   A  G  Em 
The last time you wanna burn 
Bm   A  G  Em 
 


[Verso 3]
 
          Bm 
He didn't answer your calls 
       A 
You've outworn your welcome 
      G 
Maybe he's found balls 
     Em 
Your stay was seldom 
        Bm 
And you didn't need him right? 
             A 
At least you don't think you did 
          G 
You light up one more time 
      Em                 Bm   A  G  Em 
Maybe he's off the grid 
 


[Verso 4]
 
          Bm 
His phone rings again 
        A 
For the eighteenth time 
    G 
The tortures overwhelming 
    Em 
Its past his bedtime 
   Bm 
He grabs it slowly 
      A 
Maybe it's the cops 
   G 
To tell him she's gone wild 
    Em 
And ran from the docks 
 


[Refrão]
 
     Bm                     A 
It's all an addiction, it's all a curse 
       G                   Em 
If you wanted a rush, it's in your purse 
Bm          A                G     Em 
Next to the last two tickets home 
           Bm                      A 
You'll run rock in the wounds on a backstreet deal 
    G                   Em 
The pain is feeling you cannot heal 
Bm              A 
Maybe you won't learn 
                G 
Maybe you won't learn 
    Em                  Bm   A  G  Em 
The last time you wanna burn 
Bm   A  G  Em 
 


[Verso 5]
 
          Bm 
The final time 
            A 
This time I promise you 
     G 
If I call again 
      Em 
It'll be my breakthrough 
           Bm 
And when I make it big 
              A 
I'll come and find you 
    G 
Not just to brag 
       Em        Bm  A  G  Em 
But to despise you 
 


[Verso 6]
 
          Bm 
She never called again 
              A 
The cops were there at 6 A.M 
               G 
They found her by the docks 
        Em 
Another failed detox 
       Bm 
With a note in her palm 
      A 
Which ran blue cold 
    G 
The letter you sent 
     Em 
With tickets too old 
 


[Refrão]
 
     Bm                     A 
It's all an addiction, it's all a curse 
       G                   Em 
If you wanted a rush, it's in your purse 
Bm          A                G     Em 
Next to the last two tickets home 
           Bm                      A

    G                   Em 
The pain is feeling you cannot heal 
Bm              A 
Maybe you won't learn 
                G 
Maybe you won't learn 
         Em             Bm   A  G  Em 
The last time you wanna burn 
Bm   A  G  Em
