When (C major) you were fifteen,
Verse 1
(G major)
my love
(D major) You put your head through (C major) hell
Your (D major) body was clean, (C major) sweet love
(G major) But oh, your life was (B flat major) far
from being well
When (Csus4) (C major) you were sixteen, (G major) my love
(D major) You'd come to be what was (C major)
So (D major) much had you seen, (C major) sweet love (G major)
Your face went deathly pale, (B flat major)
with hollow eyes
(Csus4) You (C major) burned yourself out,
(G major) you burned your (D major) self out
(B minor) You did yourself in (D major) (E minor) and then
All of the noise, (C major) the pills and (E minor) the boys
(F major) You burned (E major) yourself out (A minor) again
(D major) And then you turned sev (G major) enteen,
I (D major) took you like a (C major) game. (D major)
But others had known (C major) you well,
(G major) And taught you every move
(G minor) that (B flat major) I could name.
So (Csus4) (C major) then you gave (G major) up our love
(D major) And lived our full ups and downs (E minor) (C major)
(D major) The strangers would pick (C major) you up
(G major) And take you in the back (B flat major) to
(G minor) other towns
(Csus4) You've (C major) burned your (G major) self out,
you've burned your (D major) self out (B minor) ,
and wound up in Idaho (D major) (E minor)
You married a cop, (C major)
the babies don't stop, (F major)
there's (E major) no further out (A minor) to go
(D major) You've burned yourself out,
(G major) you've burned yourself out (B minor)
You've digged yourself in (D major) (E minor) and then
For all that you've blamed, (C major)
you've fled up and flamed
(F major) And (E major) burned yourself out (A minor) again
(D major) You've burned yourself out,
(G major) you've burned your (B minor) self out
You dipped yourself in (D major) (E minor) and then
All of the noise, (C major) the pills and (E minor) the voice
(F major) You've (E major) burned yourself out (A minor) and then
