Burn It Out

D  G  D  A

[Verse 1]
A            Em           G     
You know the secrets that live 
D     G D  A
in fire
            Em           G    
What is the promise that flames 
  D      G D
inspire?
             G    D  A
Can you just burn it out?
            Em            G        
Shadows and memories that won't 
D    G D  A
stay put
          Em             G      D
Can you redact them with ash and 
    G D
soot?
             G    D  A
Can you just burn it out?

[Chorus]
D            G    D  A
Can you just burn it out?
   Em
So thoroughly
    Bm
You’ll never see
  D                        A
A trace of yourself in the spark
D            G    D  A
Can you just burn it out?

  G
Til it's dark

[Verse 2]
A          Em          G         
 Ghostly intruders who storm the 
D   G D  A
moat
             Em          G      D
Black-booted looters lay knife to
       G D
 throat
             G    D    A
Can you just burn that out?
           Em             G      
All of the shame that was yours 
D     G D  A
to bear
          Em          G     D     
Will it ignite like a signal flare
G D

             G    D  A
Can you just burn it out?

[Chorus]
D            G    D  A
Can you just burn it out?
   Em
So thoroughly
    Bm
You’ll never see
  D                     A
A person who once had a name
D            G    D  A
Can you just burn it out?
     G
With a flame

[Bridge]
A           Em                   
Spirits and specters that live in
        Bm
 the sulphur streams
D                        G        
Find their redemption in charcoal 
A
dreams

[Chorus]
D            G    D  A
Can you just burn it out?
   Em
So thoroughly
    Bm
You’ll never see
  D                        A
A trace of yourself in the coal
D            G    D  A
Can you just burn it out?
   G         D
Of your soul
