CTell me that you know another way to get it done
It’s not Gme, or how I would be,
But it’s a Cdifferent situation, a different situationG  
You lay aDwake in the night just D/C#staring at the ceiling aGbove
Pulling pDieces of it out is such a D/C#waste of tGime
Keep on fDighting to remember this 
That nD/C#othing is lost in the Gend

When you burn, burn, burn your life down
CGet me to the door, out of bed, on the track, 
I’m not Gsure of starting over
It’s a Cdifferent situation, a different situation.G  
You Dwake up in the night and D/C#refuse to be afraid of it Gnow
Unfolding Dpieces of it faster, don’t you D/C#waste your tiGme.
You’ve been pDlanning to remember this,
And nD/C#othing will be lost in the Gend.

I drive around the block and I’m not looking to my right
I feel the Dglass against my cheek and I can’t see you in the light.
I Cbreak my heart around this; Gbreak my heart around this pCole.

Tell me that you know another way to get it done

It’s not me, or how I would be,

C G

But it’s a different situation, a different situation

D D/C# G

You lay awake in the night just staring at the ceiling above

D D/C# G

Pulling pieces of it out is such a waste of time

Keep on fighting to remember this

D/C# G

That nothing is lost in the end

C G/B A G

(m)

When you burn, burn, burn your life down

Get me to the door, out of bed, on the track,

I’m not sure of starting over

C G

It’s a different situation, a different situation.

D D/C# G

You wake up in the night and refuse to be afraid of it now

D D/C# G

Unfolding pieces of it faster, don’t you waste your time.

You’ve been planning to remember this,

D/C# G

And nothing will be lost in the end.

C G/B A G

(m)

When you burn, burn, burn your life down

C G/B A G

(m)

When you burn, burn, burn your life down

I drive around the block and I’m not looking to my right

I feel the glass against my cheek and I can’t see you in the light.

C G

I break my heart around this; break my heart around this.

I drive around the block and I’m not looking to my right

I feel the glass against my cheek and I can’t see you in the light.

C G C

I break my heart around this; break my heart around this pole.
