[Intro]
N.C.
I've been burning, yes, I've been burning
N.C.
Such a burden, this flame on my chest
N.C.
No insurance to pay for the damage
N.C.
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
[Interlude]

[Verse 1]
D#m C#/E#
I've been smoking, oh
F#
More than twenty a day
G#m D#m C#/E#
Blame it on rebellion
F#
Don't blame it on me
C#/E# D#m C#/E#
Wish I was younger
F#
Back to the nineteenth of May
G#m D#m
I had an open mind
C# Bsus2
Swore to never change
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m C#/E# F#
Funny how time goes by
G#m D#m
Had respect for my - self
C#/E# F#
That river ran dry
C#/E# D#m
You reached the limit
C#/E# F#
I wasn't enough
G#m D#m C# Bsus2
It's like the fire replaced all the love
[Chorus]
D#m
I've been burning
C#/E# F#
Yes, I've been burning
G#m D#m
Such a burden
C#/E# F#
This flame on my chest
C#/E# D#m C#/E# F#
No in - surance to pay for the damage
G#m D#m C# Bsus2
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
[Verse 2]
D#m C#/E#
Oh, if you ever called
F#
I will burst straight back
G#m D#m C#/E#
Give you my forgiveness
F#
And the shirt off my back
C#/E# D#m C#/E#
No friends to turn to
F#
Yeah, I messed up that
G#m D#m
Wish we could smoke again
C# Bsus2
Just for a day, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m C#/E# F#
Funny how time goes by
G#m D#m
Had respect for my - self
C#/E# F#
That river ran dry
C#/E# D#m
You reached the limit
C#/E# F#
I wasn't enough
G#m D#m C# Bsus2
It's like the fire replaced all the love
[Chorus]
D#m
I've been burning
C#/E# F#
Yes, I've been burning
G#m D#m
Such a burden
C#/E# F#
This flame on my chest
C#/E# D#m C#/E# F#
No in - surance to pay for the damage
G#m D#m C#/E# Bsus2
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
D#m C#/E# F#
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
G#m D#m C# Bsus2
Oh, I've been burning up since you left
