[Intro]
 
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
 
 
Am  G    C    x3
Am  G    F
 
[Verse 1]
                Am       G
I've been smoking, oh
           C
More than twenty a day
                  Am     G
Blame it on rebellion
       C
Don't blame it on me
             Am          G
Wish I was younger
            C
Back to the nineteenth of May
         Am              G
I had an open mind
                F
Swore to never change
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am         G        C
Funny how time goes by
                    Am
Had respect for myself
      G          C
That river ran dry
                 Am
You reached the limit
   G          C
I wasn't enough
               Am      G             F
It's like the fire replaced all the love
 
 
[Chorus]
          Am
I've been burning
G                C
Yes, I've been burning
       Am
Such a burden
     G             C
This flame on my chest
      Am        G             C
No insurance to pay for the damage
                Am      G            F
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
 
 
[Verse 2]
                  Am          G
Oh, have you ever called
       C
I will burst straight back
                Am            G
Give you my forgiveness
        C
And the shirt off my back
               Am             G
No friends to turn to
        C
Yeah, I messed up that
              Am
Wish we could smoke again
G          F
Just for a day, oh
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am         G          C
Funny how time goes by
                    Am
Had respect for myself
      G           C
That river ran dry
                 Am
You reached the limit
   G          C
I wasn't enough
               Am      G             F
It's like the fire replaced all the love
 
 
[Chorus]
          Am
I've been burning
G                C
Yes, I've been burning
       Am
Such a burden
     G             C
This flame on my chest
      Am        G             C
No insurance to pay for the damage
                Am      G            F
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
 
 
[Outro]
                Am      G              C
Yeah, I've been burning up since you left
                Am      G            F
Oooh, I've been burning up since you left
