Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
I burn with desire each time my heart fans the fire
Of that old flame that burns inside of me
She cried when I left her, now I cry to forget her
Oh, how foolish I was to ever wanna leave
Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her
I had to be crazy to say goodbye
Nobody in his right mind would've left her
Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind
I still carry her picture, I wish her well with that new love
I know she's found by now
Each night finds me dreaming, each day I spend thinking
How much I wish she was still around
Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind...

OH HOW I FOOLISH I WAS TO EVER WANT TO LEAVE.

'CAUSE NOBODY IN HIS RIGHT MIND WOULD'VE LEFT HER.
I HAD TO BE CRAZY TO SAY GOODBYE.
NOBODY IN HIS RIGHT MIND WOULD'VE LEFT HER.
