Intro: Bm G D E
Verse:
Bm G
Oh, I'm counting down
D
Hoping the time has come
E
To let it out
Bm G
Never a time I had tried to breathe
D E
I feel suffocated, I'm on my knees
G F#
I felt the cold and dark run through my veins
Bm A E
Shivered when I heard her call my name
Chorus:
G Bm
She burns like summer sun
A E
I know she's the only one I want
G Bm A
Even when she's gone, wait
G
I felt the heat on my skin
Bm
When my head started to spin
A F#
Too much is never enough
G D A
She burns like summer sun, for me
Verse:
Bm G
Oh, I'm holding out
D
Now that the time has come
E
For giving in
Bm G
*This just was to keep me warm
D
Take away my pain
E
Help me forget it all
G F#
I felt the cold and dark run through my veins
Bm A E
Shivered when I heard her call my name
Chorus:
G Bm
She burns like summer sun
A E
I know she's the only one I want
G Bm A
Even when she's gone, wait
G
I felt the heat on my skin
Bm
When my head started to spin
A F#
Too much is never enough
G D A
She burns like summer sun, for me
G A D A
No, yeah she burns
G A
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Bridge:
Em D
The time has come I'm counting down
G A
Hear my breath and I let it out
Em D A
Now there's nothing left she can take from me
Chorus:
G Bm
She burns like summer sun
A E
I know she's the only one I want
G Bm A
Even when she's gone, wait
G
I felt the heat on my skin
Bm
When my head started to spin
A F#
Too much is never enough
G D A
She burns like summer sun, for me
Outro:
G Bm A E
She burns like summer sun, oh no
G Bm A E
She burns like summer sun, oh no
G Bm A E
Burns like summer sun, sing it out now
G Bm A
Burns like summer sun, for me
