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