Burn it backwards, kill this history

Make it over, make it stay away
   Bb               Eb          D
Or hate'll sing the ending that love started to say

sunshine for a brother, Old Man Winter's in the air."
Bb             Eb     D              G   G7
Walked me up a story, asking how you are
Bb             Eb              D
Told me not to worry, you were just a shooting star

It's a picture-perfect evening and I'm staring down the sun
Bb    Eb      D                 G    G7
Fully loaded, deaf and dumb and done
