G                    C

You taught me how to love you

        G            C

Now you expect me to forget you

     G        D7          G

After all the promises we made

                   C

So I tell my heart it's over

     G               C  

This hurt can't last forever

G              D7              G

Just until the heartaches fade away

 

                C          G

You've got a sl-ow burning memory

                           D7

Maybe I'll get over you in time

G  C
Sl-ow burning memory

        G       D7            G

Keeps on burning a hole in my mind

 

                 C        G            C                      

The day you said goodbye I began to realize

   G                         D7              G

It would take a while for my broken heart to mend

                     C                G                   C

I had hoped you were dealing with the same heartaches I'm feeling

   G           D7                G

Maybe our love was just dying to live

 

C G
You've got a sl-ow burning memory

D7
Maybe I'll get over you in time

G C
Sl-ow burning memory

G D7 G
Keeps on burning a hole in my mind
