Csus2addb5
Do you wanna be a poet and write?
Do you wanna be an actor up in lights?
Do you wanna be a soldier and fight for love?
Do you wanna travel the world?
Do you wanna be a diver for pearls?
Or climb a moun - tain and touch the clouds a - bove?
Pre Chorus
Be anyone you want to be
Bring to life your fantasies
I want something in re - turn
I want you to burn, burn for me baby
Like a candle in my ni - ght
Oh burn, burn for me, burn for me
Are you gonna be a gambler and deal?
Are you gonna be a doctor and heal?
Or go to heav - en and touch Gods face?
Are you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps?
Are you gonna be a sinner who weeps?
Or, an an - gel under grace?
Pre Chorus
Ill lay down on your bed of coals
Offer up my heart and soul
But in re - turn
I want you to burn, burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
Oh burn, burn for me, burn for me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I want you to burn, baby
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, Oh, Oh
Laugh for me, cry for me
Pray for me, fly for me
Live for me, die for us
I want you to burn, burn for me baby
Like a candle in my ni - ght

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
This song has a higher difficulty level due to the chords used.
I have attempted to keep the voicings as simple as possible,
while still maintaining the tone and flavor of the song. The 7th
line of the Bridge contains a D, Dsus and a D. Although I did
not include the barre chord voicings for the Dsus and D, I would
recommend using them here, since their relative position is
closer on the neck.
Some of the chords in the Main portion of the song are repeats
from the Intro. Should you come across a chord in the Main
portion of the song and the voicing is not listed in the Main
Chords, please use the chord voicing from the Intro Chords.
