GI've been trying so D7hard to Gforget you
But this chore of D7forgetting I Gfind
Has me Cburning both ends of the Gcandle
And D7fighting a battle with Gtime
What I'd give just to D7sleep for a Gmoment
But it's a luxury that D7I can't afGford
For I Cknow that I just dream Gabout you
And my D7tears start falling once Gmore
So CI'm burning both ends of the Gcandle
I D7just hope that it lasts through the Gnight
For Ceach moment the candle is Gburning
Brings D7closer the ending of Glife

G D7 G

I've been trying so hard to forget you

D7 G

But this chore of forgetting I find

Has me burning both ends of the candle

And fighting a battle with time

D7 G

What I'd give just to sleep for a moment

D7 G

But it's a luxury that I can't afford

For I know that I just dream about you

D7 G

And my tears start falling once more

So I'm burning both ends of the candle

D7 G

I just hope that it lasts through the night

C G

For each moment the candle is burning

D7 G

Brings closer the ending of life
