Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I burn with desire each time my heart fans the fire

Of that old flame that burns inside of me

She cried when I left her, now I cry to forget her

Oh, how foolish I was to ever wanna leave

Cause nobody in his right mind would've left her

I had to be crazy to say goodbye

Nobody in his right mind would've left her

Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind

I still carry her picture, I wish her well with that new love

I know she's found by now

Each night finds me dreaming, each day I spend thinking

How much I wish she was still around

Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind...
