Before It Burned

   A               F#m                  C#m                 E
My heart falls on my chest, beats crazy when I'm around you
     A                 F#m               C#m                  E
Most times I'm sweating bullets soon as we're let outta school
           A         F#m                     C#m              E
'Cause I don't wanna find you standing there with somebody new
    A           F#m            C#m          E
I think I have to kill myself if somebody knew


[Pre-Chorus 1]
     A       F#m         C#m                  E
The way that I feel when you say my name but don't shout it
     A       F#m             C#m              E
The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded


[Chorus]
   A                       F#m
I go back and forth and now I'm wondering
   C#m                      E
Why you're so caught up in his lust
   A               F#m
I stand outside with distance
          C#m                            E
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
  A                 F#m
I can't stand how it feels
        C#m                   E
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
   A                    F#m
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
   C#m                            E
A flame that went out before it burned


[Verse 2]
 A             F#m               C#m                  E
I never tried, it's so one-sided, so I can't blame you
 A                    F#m                     C#m              E
There's no denying I caught your eye, then I looked at my shoes
  A             F#m                  C#m              E
I pray so hard, need back those chances I always blew
 A                F#m         C#m            E
I think I have to kill myself if somebody knew


[Pre-Chorus 2]
     A       F#m         C#m                  E
The way that I feel when you say my name but don't shout it
     A       F#m             C#m              E
The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded
     A       F#m         C#m                  E
And all that I need is that simple sound from those lips
         A                        F#m
'Cause you've been playing me over and over again
      C#m
Playing me over and over again


[Chorus]
   A                       F#m
I go back and forth and now I'm wondering
   C#m                      E
Why you're so caught up in his lust
   A               F#m
I stand outside with distance
          C#m                            E
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
  A                 F#m
I can't stand how it feels
        C#m                   E
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
   A                    F#m
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
   C#m                            E
A flame that went out before it burned


[Outro]
   A                       F#m
I go back and forth and now I'm wondering
   C#m                      E
Why you're so caught up in his lust
   A               F#m
I stand outside with distance
          C#m                            E
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
  A                 F#m
I can't stand how it feels
        C#m                   E
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
   A                    F#m
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
   C#m                            E
A flame that went out before it burned
