Couplet
AmShe was crazy (She was beautiful)
I guess she E7had to be
And I was Amangry (You were blind)
BeE7cause I could not see
DmExcept for what a cigarette
Had Amdone to her skin
I Dmshould have known the outside
Would reAmveal what was wiE7thin
Refrain
But she was Amburning herself
And her hair was filled with Amashes
She was CburGning herself
And her life became her Cflame G
She was Dmburning herself
And her flame became her Dmpassion
She was burFning herself
And her passion....
A5 B5 C5 D5 E5 F5
Her passion was her pain Am
Couplet
She was Amtrusting (You could have saved her too)
E7All hope had passed for her
And I was Amlusting (And she gave to you)
That's E7all I asked of her
The Dmmarks upon her body
And the Ammarks upon her mind
I Dmknew I could have erased them
If I'd onAmly taken the E7time
Refrain
But she was Amburning herself
And her hair was filled with Amashes
She was CburGning herself
And her life became her Cflame G
She was Dmburning herself
And her flame became her Dmpassion
She was Fburning herself
And her passion....

Pont
AmI never saw her do it
AmI only saw the scars
AmI never could imagine
AmWhat could make her go that far
E7I wondered was she driven
E7By a desperate need to feel
To Amfind out she was really livin'
To Amdiscover that her life was real
Or Dmwas it that the pain
Slicin' Dmthrough her like a knife
Was eaEsier to take
Than the empE7tiest of life
Had a Dmstrange sense of drama
DmCaught her inside her role
Or E7was she trying to cauterize
The E7cankers on her soul
Finale
I don't Amknow
I don't know
I don't know
