Capo 2nd fret
 
[Intro]
B7 Em C G
 
[Verse 1]
B7 Em C G
If it’s the last damn thing I do, I’m gonna burn this body down
B7 Em C G
I never really got over you, I just learned to do without
B7 Em C G
At the crossroads of my life, you’re the line that runs between
B7 Em C G
The man in the mirror now and the boy he used to be
 
[Chorus]
D Em C G
Baby, out of that clear blue sky, I watched you trade today for tomorrow
D Em C G
And I held my tongue, stood up strong, paid full in sorrow
D Em C G D
And every long lost dream, every memory, down to a lesson learned
Em C G D
Tears like gas falling fast, strike that match and watch me
Em C G D
Burn, burn, burn
Em C G
Burn, burn, burn
 
[Verse 2]
B7 Em C G
If it’s the last time I speak your name, let it only be in truth
B7 Em C G
That day that you walked away was the last day of my youth
 
[Chorus]
D Em C G D
And baby, out of that clear blue sky, I watched you trade today for tomorrow
D Em C G
And I held my tongue, stood up strong, paid full in sorrow
D Em C G D
And every long lost dream, every memory, down to a lesson learned
Em C G D
Tears like gas falling fast, strike that match and watch me
Em C G D
Burn, burn, burn
Em C
Burn, burn
