Lyrics
I've been burning.
Yes, I've been burning.
Such a burden, this flame on my chest.
No insurance to pay for the damage.
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left.
(Bb5)I've been smoking, (Dm)oh,
(C)more than (F)twenty a day.
Blame it (Gm7)on rebellion,
(C)don't (F)blame it on me.
Wish (C)I was (Dm)younger,
(C)back to the (F)nineteenth of May.
(Gm7)I had an (Dm)open mind, (C)swore to never change.
(Dm)Funny how (C)time goes by.
Had respect for (Gm7)myself;
that (C)river ran dry.
You reached the limit;
I wasn't enough.
(F)It's like (Gm7)the (C)firereplaced all the love.
I've been burning.
Yes, I've been burning.
Such (Gm7)a burden, this (C)flame on my (F)chest.
No (C)insurance to pay for the damage.
Yeah, I've (Gm7)been burning (C)up since you (Bbmaj9)left.
Oh, if you ever call,
(C)I would (F)run straight back, give you (Gm7)my forgiveness
(C)and the (F)shirt off my back.
No (C)friends to (Dm)turn to;
(C)yeah, I (F)messed up that.
(Gm7)Wish we could (Dm)smoke again, (C)just for a day.
(Bb5)Oh. (Bbmaj9)Yeah, I've been burning (C)up since you left.
Oh, I've (Gm7)been burning (C)up since you (Bbsus2)left.
