D
There?s a stack of daily papers on her doorstep
        G                                  A
And the grass has grown up more than she'd allow
D
Yes, it seems to me to be a little more like a vacation
G                   A              D
Never knew that I'd miss her until now.

[Chorus]
     G                    A                  D
From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
          G               A                D
Guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
           G                A                 D
Looks like I?m the one that got caught in the middle
         G
Burnt my finger
   D                C                  D
I got there Just In Time To Watch Love Die
                         C                  D    G D A G D
Yes, I got there Just In Time To Watch Love Die.

          D 
There's a change of address blank inside the mailbox
       G                                  A
And the key shed usually leave for me not here
         D
Yes, its plain to see that she no longer wants an explanation
G                   A                          D
Guess I should have known I would not find her here

[Chorus]
     G                    A                  D
From both ends the candle seems to burn much brighter
            G               A                D
I Guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
           G                A                 D
Looks like I?m the one that got caught in the middle
         G
Burnt my finger
   D                C                  D
I got there Just In Time To Watch Love Die
                        C               D    G D A G D
But I got there much to late to say goodbye
