Burn
(Steve Wynn)
EmSomeone set Cfire to the Gfield last D/F#night
EmTurned himself Cin this GmorningD/F#  
No, EmI don't Cthink you Gknew himD/F#  
AmBut that's not the Dpoint
Am    D
Well, the Emcops asked Cwhy he'd Gdone itD/F#  
As they Emfastened Cup the GcuffsD/F#  
He Emlooked at Cwhat he'd Gdone and saidD/F#  
AmI guess I just don't Dknow
Am                      D
But you can Emfeel it in your Cheart, GFeel it in your D/F#soul
EmFeel it go aCround until you Glose contD/F#rol
And there's Emjust a few Cthings that Gcan't be D/F#told
     Am     DDon't you feel it AmburnD  
Don't you feel it AmburnD  
Ah, don't you feel it burn
There was this friend that you and I had
There were a few things he believed in
And then one by one he found some flaws
And now he's not so sure
(ch)
I woke up alone this morning
And I looked around the room
Someday there's gonna be hell to pay
I know (ch)
