Does My Ring Burn Your Finger 
written by Buddy Mille &Julie Miller


Em
When I gave you my heart
       A    G         Em
It was not what you wanted
Em
Now the walls say your name
        A       G      Em
And the pictures are haunted
        A     G         Em
Does my ring burn your finger
       A     G         Em
Did my love weigh you down
      A       G   Em
Was a promise to much
        B        Em   A  B   Em
To keep around
  Em
I remember your words
      A      G         Em
And I can?t keep from crying
Em
I could never believe
          A      G      Em
That your kisses were lying
           A         G      Em
Was there something from the past
       A     G       Em
Buried in a shallow grave
        A                 G        Em       B
Did you think that it was too far gone to save

B
Please tell me baby

Please tell me now
   A
You say that I should just go on
                            Em
Now please tell me how
         Em
Now it?s just me and the night
        A         G   Em
And I?m so broken hearted
Em
I just wait in the dark here
       A      G    Em
For my dearly departed
        A     G         Em
Does my ring burn your finger
       A      G        Em
Did my love weigh you down
      A      G   Em
Was a promise to much
        B         Em    A  B  Em
To keep around
