Verse 1:

        G                  C
Well I wrote your name and burned it
            G                 D
To see the color of the flame
       Am                    C
And it burned out the whole spectrum
      G                   Em
As if you were everything
           Am
Mine just burned gold
          C
A normal flame
   G          Em
I am not anything

Verse 2:

    G              C
And all that I remember
        G                    D
Is the feeling of waking up
             Am                C
When we were kids you were the sun
            G                     Em
To which my eyes would not adjust

             Am           C
When we were kids I was a fountain
           G
You could never drink enough
          G                 C
Then came all the boys who swept you up
          G                     D
Played careless with your heart

          Am                 C
And every night there was a new girl
           G                 Em
Sitting beside me in my car
          Am                  C
Something dies when you grow older
        G                   C
But you do the best you can
      Am
I am glad
      C
I am glad
                G
You found a good man

G C G G

Verse 3:

G                C
Years came on of fire
G                         D
With your back to the wall
Am                         C
And it burned on down from inside
    G                         Em
Till the smoke consumed it all
    Am                   C
Yeah it burned and then I sputtered
   G
Back to life to hear the call
  G                    C
But if you can’t find the light
 G                        D
I will see you in the dark
       Am                  C
Never thought I’d know you better
    G                          Em
Til I saw your children’s heart
     Am                       C
It’s something tempting to be perfect
    G                     C
But now, there’s a better plan

Em      Am
   I am glad
        C
   I am glad
            G
You found a good man

Bridge:

          Am                  C
Something dies when you grow older
        G                   C
But you do the best you can

Outro:

Em      Am
   I am glad

   I am glad
        C

            G
