Standard (EADGBE)

You called me early one morning

And said you were glad I was home

You were lying there flat on your back

Getting drunk playing guitar alone

Did she say

 She was leaving the very next day

 Did you beg her to stay

 Did you beg her to stay

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

(Post Chorus Instrumental Break)

It doesn't get easy get empty get older

And realise we actually die

Filled up with fear and the question persists

That you just might be living a lie

And I saw,

 As you beat your tired fists on the wall

 Are you asking for more

 Are you asking for more

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

I'm keepin' it together

Just keep it together at best

Somewhere inside of me

I know that this is a test

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine

 You've got to burn to shine
