| Am         | Am         | G     D    | Am         |
| Am         | Am         | G     D    | Am         |
| Am         | Am         | G     D    |
| Am         ||

[Verse 1]
Am            Am                     D               D
  The sun was blinding, it was in my eyes,
Am             Am                      D           Dsus4   D
  the sand was burning and my skin was dry.

[Chorus]
C             G                         D           D
  I burned my fingers on a page of your book,
C                 G                                  D        D
  some lines just walked and then that's all that it took.

[Verse 2]
Am             Am                            D               D
  Sometimes we kept it sometimes we gave it away,
Am           Am                              D         Dsus4  D
  I followed in your lightest footsteps that day.

[Chorus]
C             G                         D           D
  I burned my fingers on a page of your book,
C                 G                                  D        D
  some lines just walked and then that's all that it took.

[Bridge]
                Am                   Am
So, what do you see when you're with me,
        G           D            Am
I can't tell by the look in your eyes.
               Am                            Am
Thought that I knew from the dumb things I d heard,
         G            D             Am
it was a fire that we just couldn't stop.
         G                 G                                  D          D
And it's hard to know when things are really cheaper than the way they look;
        G                G                           D            D
how was I to know when I burned my fingers on a page of your book.

[Verse 1] (Reprise)
Am            Am                     D               D
  The sun was blinding, it was in my eyes,
Am             Am                      D           Dsus4   D
  the sand was burning and my skin was dry.

[End-Chorus]
C             G                         D           D
  I burned my fingers on a page of your book,
C                 G                                  D        D
  some lines just walked and then that's all that it took.
