Burn to Shine

Ben Harper

Tom: A

Intro: G ...then: E G D  Bis  


Couplet: E G D  
---------------

the  E is alternated with E?:042100 ,
you know like in the old blues songs...
Same thing for the D in the chorus an  D?:xx0432
E (E?)                          G                  D  Dsus4 D
We made love until we cried and cried ourselves to laughter 
E (E?)                       G                        D Dsus4
Laughed until we realise our hearts were struck with fear 
E (E?)                               G            D Dsus4 D
How in just a moments time could one see for ever after 
  E (E?)                       G                  D Dsus4 D
I gently lie beside of you and dream away with my tears 

Refrain:
--------

A Asus4 Asus4 A   E E* E* E              (E*:022110) 
Won't you let me  treat you kind 
D (D?) 
We're gonna burn to shine 
A Asus4 Asus4 A    E E* E* E
Won't you let me   treat you kind 
D (D?)              A      C A  C A C A C A G
We're gonna burn to shine 
Couplet:
Funny things you learn from your mama, like the way you throw your head back when
swallowing pills 
Funny things you learn from your papa, like when you're talking you just can't keep
your hands still 
But that was now and this is then 
It never lasts for long 
How I miss the good old days; but I'm so glad they're gone 
Refrain:
Won't you let me treat you kind 
We're gonna burn to shine 
Won't you let me treat you kind 
We're gonna burn to shine 
(Bridge: jouer le couplet et le refrain)
Couplet:
I'd like to spend the time that you would like to spend with me 
So you could help me out with my dependancy 
'Cause I'm hoplessly addicted addicted to your sorrow 
Makes me never wanna work, beg or borrow 
Refrain:
Won't you let me treat you kind 
We're gonna burn to shine 
Won't you let me treat you kind 
We're gonna burn to shine
