VERSE 1
GToday (320003@1)I burned your old love letters
  D (xx0232@1)                       GI (320003@1)burned them gently one by one
    GAnd (320003@1)as I'd light the flame I'd read them
    D (xx0232@1)                       GFor (320003@1)I could see what you have done


CHORUS
    C (x32010@1)                        GThe (320003@1)first you wrote me was the sweetest
                               DThe (xx0232@1)last one broke my heart in two
    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


(CHORUS)
