Shining Burning chords by Jeff Woodell

Dm x2

Dm
The candle's out of breath again.
F               Am
My silent twin in paraffin.
Dm
Familiar trip across the hall
F               Am
becomes a course of obstacles.
Dm
A step, a slip, an awkward twist.
F               Am
A fumbling man who might be missed.
Dm
My pupils shrink. You fill the view.
F               Am
I find my body drawn to you,
       C                 Bb
but I'm afraid to get too close because

      Dm       C          Bb            F
You're shining, burning, blinding like the sun.
                 G
You're one of the stars that captivates me,
         Bb           C
but I've stared at you too long.                   x2

Dm x2

Dm
Out of pocket, locked in light.
F              Am
A penny in a world of dimes.
Dm
Flipped around, my front exposed.
F              Am
I never fashioned silver clothes.
Dm
Can't you see my blushing face
F              Am
felt better in its hiding place?
Dm
I need to see the shadows fade
F              Am
or turn my head the other way
C               Bb
and never look again because

      Dm       C          Bb            F
You're shining, burning, blinding like the sun.
                 G
You're one of the stars that captivates me,
         Bb           C
but I've stared at you too long.                   x2

Dm
Now I'm done
