E                           Dsus2                              C
   Please, don't ever let me down, 'cause you know I'm not so sure,
      F                  B      D    B                D         B
Do I have the speed to carry--- on,  ...and burn you out of my mind?
   E                                Dsus2
I know ...you're a flame that never fades,
                        C                F
Jungle red's a deadly shade, both ends burning,
           B       D     B             D          B            E
Will the fires--- keep   ...somewhere deep in my soul--- to - night?


[Chorus]
E             Dsus2          C          B4    B
    Both ends burning, ...burning,  ...burn,

    Both ends burning, ...burning,  ...burn!

E                           Dsus2                           C
   Now my course is plain as day, running bold at work and play,
            F              B              D
Both ends burning with a strange--- de - sire,
       B        D          B
That feeds the fire in my soul-----,
       E                               Dsus2                       C
To - night...I will dance the night a - way, living only for to - day,
            F                      B          D
Both ends burning, while you're counting--- sheep,
      B             D            B             E
Hell,  ...who can sleep in this heat ...this night?


[Chorus]
E             Dsus2          C          B4    B

   Tell me will I ever learn?  It's too late, the rush is on!
            F             B               D
Both ends burning, and I can't--- con - trol...
         B     D           B             E
...The fires raging in my soul ...to - night,
                  Dsus2
Oh, will it never end?
                              C               F            B    D
Put your foot down round the bend, drive me crazy, to an early grave,
B             D                B                 E
    Tell me, what is there to----  save ...to - night?

E                                 Dsus2  C                 B4   B
    Keep on burning   ...till the end---------, until the end,
E                                 Dsus2  C                 B4   B
    Both ends burning ...till the end---------, until the end,
E                                 Dsus2  C                 B4   B
    Keep on burning   ...till the end---------, until the end,
E                                 Dsus2  C                 B4   B
    Both ends burning ...till the end---------,  the very end-------!
