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
