Burning Herself

Harry Chapin

Ton : AEnglish
135 bpm
A5 B5 C5 D5 E5 F5 
Am (x4)
SAmhe was crazy (She was beautiful)
I guess she hE7ad to be
And I was aAmngry (You were blind)
BeE7cause I could not see
EDmxcept for what a cigarette
Had dAmone to her skin
I shoDmuld have known the outside
Would reAmveal what was wiE7thin
But she was bAmurning herself
And her hair was filled with aAmshes
She was buCrninGg herself
And her life became her fClameG 
She was buDmrning herself
And her flame became her pDmassion
She was burFning herself
And her passion.... A5 B5 C5 D5 E5 F5 
Her passion was her painAm 
She was truAmsting (You could have saved her too)
AE7ll hope had passed for her
And I was luAmsting (And she gave to you)
That's aE7ll I asked of her
The mDmarks upon her body
And the mAmarks upon her mind
I knDmew I could have erased them
If I'd onAmly taken the timE7e
But she was buAmrning herself
And her hair was filled with aAmshes
She was buCrninGg herself
And her life became her fClameG 
She was buDmrning herself
And her flame became her pDmassion
She was bFurning herself
And her passion.... A5 B5 C5 D5 E5 F5 
Her passion was her painAm 
IAm never saw her do it
IAm only saw the scars
IAm never could imagine
WAmhat could make her go that far
IE7 wondered was she driven
BE7y a desperate need to feel
To fAmind out she was really livin'
To dAmiscover that her life was real
Or wDmas it that the pain
Slicin' thDmrough her like a knife
Was eaEsier to take
Than the empE7tiest of life
Had a straDmnge sense of drama
CauDmght her inside her role
Or wE7as she trying to cauterize
The caE7nkers on her soul
I don't kAmnow
I don't know
I don't know A5 B5 C5 D5 E5 F5 
Her passion was her pain Am
