Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  called me early one morning
And  said you were glad I was home
You  were lying there flat on your back
Getting  drunk playing guitar alone
Did  she say
 She was leaving the very next day
 Did you beg her to  stay
 Did you beg her to  stay
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
(Post  Chorus Instrumental  Break)
It  doesn't get easy get empty get older
And  realise we actually die
Filled  up with fear and the question persists
That  you just might be living a lie
And  I saw,
 As you beat your tired fists on the wall
 Are you asking for  more
 Are you asking for  more
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
I'm  keepin' it together
Just  keep it together at best
Somewhere  inside of me
I  know that this is a  test
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
 You've got to burn  to shine
(Post  Chorus Instrumental  Break)
 Structure:

 Notes: You can play the standard open D chord (xx0232) instead, although it does not
 as dense as the D chord (x54232).
