E

[Verse]
E                                                   A
I can talk my way out of trouble with a smoke and a smile
E                                               B
But she dealt me a handful and played along for awhile
E                                               A
But when I woke up to goodbye, coffee black with pain !
E                     B                 E
She left me she found me half empty again

[Verse]
E                                     A
I ran for a remedy, whatever fit the bill
E                                          B
And I followed the script closely whiskey, women, and pills
E                                                A
Still the heart ache lingers on as I run myself down
E                          B                       E
Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!

[Chorus]
A                                   C#m
Sometimes there ain't better way around
A                                                          B
Everyone got something to say to how to make the flame go down
A                                                 C#m
But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt
      A                B                          E
Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!! Mmmhmmmmm!

[Verse]
E                                              A
And here I am living backwards chained to the past
E                                              B
Days spent running through memories and old photographs
E                                              A
And all the colors and majestic, pale yellow and blues
E                     B                    E
I've gotta let em all go to forget about you!

[Chorus]
A                                   C#m
Sometimes there ain't better way around
A                                                          B
Everyone got something to say to how to make the flame go down
A                                                 C#m
But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt
      A                B                          E
Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!! Mmmhmmmmm!

A C#m

A    B

A                                                 C#m
But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt
 A                B                          E
Oh you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out
    A             B                          E
No you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out Whoooo
 A              B                         C#m

A               B                           E
