E
I don't sleep well
C#m
Under your spell
E                    C#m
I'm told that people go
A        E
But still the night suffers
C#m
Your flame smaller
E                       C#m  A
That face I just had to know, know for sure

C#m A    E
    So what's the point
in starting something that will
C#m           A
Crash and end
E
I could never tell

Chorus:
           C#m   A
You got to burn burn burn
E
Burn baby once a while
           C#m   A
You got to burn burn burn
E
Burn just to feel alive

They broke your crown
Set loose their hounds
On your tattered bones
Not a sound drew from your lips
As you got your fix
What holy pleasure of the damned
Is this?

And our repentant heart's
Breaking on its knees again
We are drowning men

Singing burn, burn, burn, baby
Once awhile
You got to burn, burn, burn
Burn just to feel alive

How can we know light without
Walking in the dark
There would be no spark

Singing burn
There would be no spark
Singing burn
There would be no spark

Chorus:
You got to burn, burn, burn, baby
Once awhile
You got to burn and burn
Burn just to feel alive
