Lewis Capaldi – Burning
Key: Eb Major BPM: ♩ = 108 Time: 4/4
|Eb    |Eb    |

|Eb                   |Eb         |Bb                   |Bb  |
 Can't even begin to explain, this all too well familiar pain
    |Cm                      |Cm                      |Ab  |Ab  |
That comes and it goes but it gets in my bones all the same

    |Cm                      |Ab                          |Eb                   |Bb  |
Well maybe I'm a fool for falling in love with you, when I   had nothing left to lose
     |Cm                                |Ab                    |
And nothing more I could give, went down with your sinking ship
     |Eb                        |Bb     |Bb       |
Now I   don’t think I’ll make it through,  through

|Eb        |Eb                 |Cm           |Cm                          |
   Now it's only the beat of my heart, that reminds me not to stare at the
|Ab               |Ab                     |Bb               |Bb                  |
 sparks, can’t set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning
|Eb              |Eb                       |Cm          |Cm                       |
alone, ’cause the longer you convince me to stay, our salvation’s slipping further
|Ab            |Ab                     |Bb               |Bb                  |
away, can’t set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning

|Eb    |Eb    |
alone

      |Eb                        |Eb           |Bb                             |Bb   |
Forget everything we've come to expect, it only serves to further fuck with our heads
           |Cm                     |Cm                   |Ab  |Ab  |
And I don't wanna pretend this will all be alright in the end

  |Cm                    |Ab                           |Eb                   |Bb  |
So maybe now instead of balancing on the edge, we could   put this to bed for good
   |Cm                           |Ab                   |
Can call it quits or risk sinking with this broken ship
     |Eb                        |Bb     |Bb       |
But I   don’t think we’d make it through,  through

|Eb        |Eb                 |Cm           |Cm                          |
   Now it's only the beat of my heart, that reminds me not to stare at the
|Ab               |Ab                     |Bb               |Bb                  |
 sparks, can’t set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning
|Eb              |Eb                       |Cm          |Cm                       |
alone, ’cause the longer you convince me to stay, our salvation’s slipping further
|Ab            |Ab                     |Bb               |Bb                  |
away, can’t set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning

|Cm                  |Ab                  |Eb                 |Bb                          |
alone, I wish I could stay, I wish I could lie, do whatever it takes to get you through the
|Cm                   |Ab                   |
 night, I can't be the one, I can't take the
|Eb                      |Bb                           |
 fall, can’t go up in the flames to keep your body warm

|Eb        |Eb                 |Cm           |Cm                          |
   Now it's only the beat of my heart, that reminds me not to stare at the
|Ab               |Ab                     |Bb               |Bb                  |
 sparks, can’t set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning
|Eb              |Eb                       |Cm          |Cm                       |
alone, ’cause the longer you convince me to stay, our salvation’s slipping further
|Ab            |Ab                     |Bb               |Bb                  |
away, can’t set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning

|Eb     |
alone
