    GAnd (320003@1)as I'd light the flame I'd read them

    GAnd (320003@1)as I'd light the flame I'd read it
    D (xx0232@1)                     GFor (320003@1)I can say I still love you


VERSE 2
And as I burned your old love letters
It brought back memories from the past
It told about you and your new love
A love I knew could never last
