[Intro]
Em Bm Em Bm
[Verse]
Em Bm
Father, I’m sorry I've hurt you.
Em
I’m sorry I’ve stumbled like this.
This heart that still beats
Bm
from the breath of your lips
C
is a heart that’d kill you with a kiss.
G
And I know that you still choose to love me,
Bm
and it’s something that I cannot earn,
C
but I turned away and I ran toward the flames.
D
What a wonderful way to get burned.
[Chorus]
G Em
What a wonderful way to get burned.
Am
You gave me it all.
I threw it away
C
I played with the fire.
D Em Bm
What a wonderful way to get burned.
Em Bm
[Verse]
Em Bm
I faked love with a tall glass of water.
Em
Wasn’t long before she had her fill.
Bm
‘Cause she had enough of the lack of our love
C
and now she’s going out for the kill.
G
You told me you’d love me forever,
B
but Jesus, will you ever learn
that your place in my heart
C
has been filled with such dark.
D
You won’t see me when you have returned.
[Chorus]
G Em
What a wonderful way to get burned.
Am
You gave me it all.
I threw it away
C
I played with the fire.
D G Em
What a wonderful way to get burned.
Am
You gave me it all.
I threw it away
C
I played with the fire.
D
What a wonderful way
What a wonderful way
What a wonderful way
[Bridge]
Bm
You brought air to my lungs
and then I turned my back.
C
You still loved me despite,
G
but I hated the fact that I hated myself
more than I ever loved
D
so the love that you had
was just not good enough
Bm
and I miss you so much
that it burns in my chest
C
like the first cigarette that I smoked to impress.
G
If I had known then what I’ve done to you now,
D
I’d pour gas on myself with it lit in my mouth.
[Chorus]
G Em
What a wonderful way to get burned.
Am
You gave me it all.
I threw it away
C
I played with the fire.
D G Em
What a wonderful way to get burned.
Am
You gave me it all.
I threw it away
C
I played with the fire.
D
What a wonderful way
What a wonderful way
What a wonderful way
To get burned.
