Midland - Burn Out
[Intro]
Watchin' cigarettes Gburn out
Till all the neon gets Emturned out
I was so on fire for you it Amhurts how
  CFast a Dcigarette can Gburn out
[Verse]
Just Cwatchin' rivers run down the Bmside of the bottle
Amalmost like it's cryin' my Gtears
Had the Cworld on a string
and then I Bmlost everything
and Amthat's how I wound up Dhere
[Chorus]
Watchin' cigarettes Gburn out
Till all the neon gets Emturned out
There's nothin' left but empty Amglasses now
it’s all Cflashes now
  Da smokin' D7/Cmemory that ain’t Em7/Bnothin' but Dashes
in the Glow lights
These done me wrong songs hit me Emso right
I'm so on fire for you it Amhurts how
  Cfast a Dcigarette can Gburn out
[Verse]
If you put your Chands on the flame
You’ve got no Bmright to complain
Cause you Amknow it's going to leave a Gmark
When the Cglow comes to an end like scattered Bmembers in the wind
Leaves you Amlookin' for a brand new Dspark
Watchin' cigarettes Gburn out
[Solo]

Aw with every Chit I’m going to Bmquit
But who am I Amkiddin' I just can’t put you Gdown
So I keep hangin' arC#m7-5ound
