[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

[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
