[Verse 1]
        G         F                C
I had a slow burn for you darling
        G              F      C
We were walking by the river
      G           F              C
I was young and a fool, darling
         G          F        C
I didn't know about forever


[Verse 2]
          G        F                 C
We took a train to Vermont, darling
             G         F            C
We skied the mountains in the west
            G         F                C
And all the while the fire smouldered
          G          F         Eb
I felt it burning in my chest


[Verse 3]
        F              C      Eb
We were walking by the ocean
       F            C       Eb
On the coast of California
            F             C
I felt that I should tell you something
             F      G        C
But then the moment passed


[Verse 4]
          G          F                    C
Life went on for us, darling
                        (I was never very far)
        G            F                      C
We went our separate ways
                        (But I had to stay away)
       G                 F                     C
I very seldom thought of you, darling
                                 (Hard to remember)
             G     F      Eb
The past was all a haze


[Verse 5]
       F              C                       Eb
Then I saw you in the city
                         (Couldn't believe my eyes)
          F          C                              Eb
Your eyes lit up and so did mine
                              (There was so much to say)
            F             C                 F
We walked together by the reservoir
                              (Hold my hand)
                      G      C
And shared a glass of wine


[Verse 6]
            G             F         C
The time has passed away, darling
              G         F             C
I thought the flame was burning out
         G       F               C
I had my life to live, darling
            G         F       Eb
Could I let go of any doubt


[Verse 7]
       F                       C                   Eb
When I saw you that day in the city
                                 (Memories floated back)
           F         C                        Eb
I suffered such a surprise
                        (It all was such a surprise)
             F           C                  F
The fire was lit and the slow burn started
             G        C
Had it never died


[Verse 8]
              G          F                             C
Now there's a slow burn, darling
                             (Just like there'd been before)
       G         F                      C
Like a sweet and smoky song
                      (A longing in our hearts)
           G            F                           C
And what I didn't know, darling
                           (Maybe this was meant to be)
              G        F
Was that your love was never gone



[Outro]
         C
I have a slow burn
         Am
I have a slow burn
         G
I have a slow burn
    C
For you
         C
I have a slow burn
         Am
I have a slow burn
         G
I have a slow burn
    C
For you
