Burning chords by Sam Smith

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
N.C.
I’ve been burning, yes, I’ve been burning
N.C.
Such a burden, this flame on my chest
N.C.
No insurance to pay for the damage
N.C.
Yeah, I’ve been burning up since you left


Verse 1:
     F# minorF#m
I’ve been smoking, oh
     E minorEm
More than twenty a day
       F# minorF#m
Blame it on rebellion
   E minorEm
Don’t blame it on me
      F# minorF#m
Wish I was younger
      E minorEm
Back to the nineteenth of May
       F# minorF#m
I had an open mind
        E minorEm
Swore to never change

Pre-Chorus:
     B minorBm
Funny how time goes by
    E minorEm
Had respect for myself
        B minorBm
That river ran dry
        E minorEm
You reached the limit
 B minorBm
I wasn’t enough
       E minorEm
It’s like the fire replaced all the love


Chorus:
     A augmentedA
I’ve been burning
        E MajorE
Yes, I’ve been burning
    G+G
Such a burden
   E minorEm     G+G
This flame on my chest
  A augmentedA            E MajorE
No insurance to pay for the damage
        G+G          E minorEm
Yeah, I’ve been burning up since you left

Verse 2:
  F# minorF#m
Oh, have you ever called
    E minorEm
I will burst straight back
F# minorF#m
Give you my forgiveness
    E minorEm
And the shirt off my back
  F# minorF#m
No friends to turn to
    E minorEm
Yeah, I messed up that
       F# minorF#m
Wish we could smoke again
      E minorEm
Just for a day, oh


Pre-Chorus:
     B minorBm
Funny how time goes by
    E minorEm
Had respect for myself
        B minorBm
That river ran dry
        E minorEm
You reached the limit
 B minorBm
I wasn’t enough
       E minorEm
It’s like the fire replaced all the love


Chorus:
     A augmentedA
I’ve been burning
        E MajorE
Yes, I’ve been burning
    G+G
Such a burden
   E minorEm     G+G
This flame on my chest
  A augmentedA            E MajorE
No insurance to pay for the damage

Yeah, I’ve been burning up since you left

Oh, I’ve been burning up since you left
