Burn It At Both Ends

Tom: G

G
I don't want one single night
Cadd9
Coming back to haunt me
G
I can't let them baby blues
Cadd9
Come back 'round to taunt me
Cadd9
Your leavin' left me hurtin'
G/B
Girl, I'm tired of kickin', cursin'
Cadd9                            Am
So I do a little goodbye burnin'


[Chorus]
Cadd9
'Cause I want everything about you

Going up in smoke
          G                Dsus/F#
I'm gonna douse it down in whiskey
   Em
So it ain't burning slow
             Cadd9
Tonight, I'm lightin' up your memory
           A
Like it's love's last cigarette
          Am            C/B            Cadd9
From our first love to seein' you with him

I'm gonna burn it at both ends

G C

G
Now, I know there's some good ones
Cadd9
Livin' in the middle
G
But I don't wanna miss 'em
Cadd9
Not even just a little
Cadd9
From echoes of your laughin'
G/B
To the click of your suitcase latchin'
Cadd9                            Am
I'm gonna leave 'em all in ashes


[Chorus]
Cadd9
'Cause I want everything about you

Going up in smoke
          G                Dsus/F#
I'm gonna douse it down in whiskey
   Em
So it ain't burning slow
             Cadd9
Tonight, I'm lightin' up your memory
           A
Like it's love's last cigarette
          Am            C/B            Cadd9
From our first love to seein' you with him

I'm gonna burn it at both ends

G C Am C/B Cadd9


[Chorus]
Cadd9
'Cause I want everything about you

Going up in smoke
          G                Dsus/F#
I'm gonna douse it down in whiskey
   Em
So it ain't burning slow
             Cadd9
Tonight, I'm lightin' up your memory
           A
Like it's love's last cigarette
          Am            C/B            C    C/B
From our first love to seein' you with him
          Am                 C/B          Cadd9
So there ain't no way you're hurtin' me again

I'm gonna burn it at both, burn it both
                               G      C
Burn it at both ends, at both ends

      G          C
At both ends
