Burning Chords

These are the chords in standard tuning.
 
I'm pretty sure he plays this with tuning 1/2 step down to Eb, and start on an E-shaped chord.
 
Another way to play is capo 3 (standard tuning) and start on a C-shaped chord.
 
(Use the Transpose function...it's your friend!)
 
 
[Intro]
Eb   Bb   Cm   Ab
 
 
[Verse 1]
Eb
Can't even begin to explain
     Bb
This all too well familiar pain
   Cm
It comes and it goes
                                    Ab
But it gets in my bones all the same, ooh-ooh
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      Cm
Well, maybe I'm a fool
       Ab
For falling in love with you
       Eb                         Bb
When I    had nothing left to lose
      Cm
And nothing more I could give
          Ab
Went down with your sinking ship
      Eb                                 Bb
Now I   don't think I'll make it through      Through
 
[Chorus]
Eb
   Now it's only the beat of my heart
Cm
   That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
Ab
   Can't set fire to my soul just to
Bb
Keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone
 
Eb
   'Cause, the longer you convince me to stay
Cm
   Our salvation's slipping further away
Ab
   Can't set fire to my soul just to
Bb
Keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone
 
 
Eb
 
 
[Verse 2]
       Eb
Forget evеrything we've come to еxpect
        Bb
It only serves to further fuck with our heads
              Cm
And I don't wanna pretend
                                    Bb
This will all be alright in the end,    ooh-ooh
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   Cm                        Ab
So maybe, now, instead of balancing on the edge
         Eb                          Bb
We could    put this to bed for good
    Cm                            Ab
Can call it quits or risk sinking with this broken ship
      Eb                                   Bb
But I    don't think we'd make it through       Through
 
 
[Chorus]
Eb
   Now it's only the beat of my heart
Cm
   That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
Ab
   Can't set fire to my soul just to
Bb
Keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone
 
Eb
   'Cause, the longer you convince me to stay
Cm
   Our salvation's slipping further away
Ab
   Can't set fire to my soul just to
Bb
Keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone
 
 
[Bridge]
Cm
   I wish I could stay
Ab
   I wish I could lie
Eb                     Bb
   Do whatever it takes  to get you through the night
Cm
   I can't be the one
Ab
   I can't take the fall
Eb                          Bb
   Can't go up in the flames  to keep your body warm
 
 
[Chorus]
Eb
   Now it's only the beat of my heart
Cm
   That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
Ab
   Can't set fire to my soul just to
Bb
Keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone
 
Eb
   'Cause, the longer you convince me to stay
Cm
   Our salvation's slipping further away
Ab
   Can't set fire to my soul just to
Bb
Keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone
