Tom: C#
I don't understand why

See it's burning me to hold onto this

I know this is something I gotta do

But that don't mean I want to

What I'm trying to say is that 
 

     C#
I-love-you I just
   Bbm               F#
I feel like this is coming to an end
                          C#              Bbm 
And its better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
F#
  I gotta let it burn

[Verse 1]
            C#  
It's gonna burn for me to say this
          Bbm 
But it's comin from my heart
             F#
It's been a long time coming, but we been fell apart
        C#
Really wanna work this out
              Bbm
But I don't think you're gonna change
   F#
I do but you don't
                    D#m             G#
Think it's best we go our separate ways
C#                    Bbm
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
F# 
  When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
C#                          Bbm   F#
Plus theres so many other things    I gotta deal with
             D#m         G#     C#
I think that you should let it burn

[Chorus]
C#                          Bbm                       F#
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
                                                  C#
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Bbm                      
Even though this might bruise you
        F#           D#m   G#               C# 
Let it burn   Let it burn     Gotta let it burn
C#                       Bbm           
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
F#
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
         C#                      Bbm 
But you know that it's over, we know that it's through
        F#             D#m  G#               C# 
Let it burn ,  Let it burn,    Gotta let it burn

[Verse 2]

Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to

Got somebody here but I want you

Cause the feelin ain't the same find myself

Callin' her your name

Ladies tell me do you understand?

Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?

It's the way I feel

I know I made a mistake

Now it's too late

I know she ain't comin back

What I gotta do now

To get my shorty back

Ooo ooo ooo ooooh

Man I don't know what I'm gonna do

Without my booo

You've been gone for too long

It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours

Imma be burnin' till you return (let it burn)

[Chorus]
C#                          Bbm                       F#
