D
I'm finding out how hot,
    G
An old flame can burn.
   A7
You're a feeling I haven't forgot,
 G                  D
A love I can't unlearn.

  D                 D7
You've become a memory,
   G
I can't live without.
  G                 A7               D
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

[Chorus]
 G
I don't know how to handle,
 D
The dream you left behind.
 G
It's like a lighted candle,
               A7
Burning up my mind.

 D
At least I'm happy knowing,
       G
What love is all about.
  G                  A7             D
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
  D
Embers to ashes,
  G
That's how it should be.
        A7
You'd think by now my heart would know,
     G                 D
That it could set you free.

D
The things I've tried,
      D7
The tears I've cried,
  G
I guess there's no doubt.
 G                  A7              D
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

[Chorus]
 G
I don't know how to handle,
     D
The dream you left behind.
    G
It's like a lighted candle,
                A7
Burning up my mind.

    D
At least I'm happy knowing,
      G
What love is all about.
  G                 A7              Bm
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.

[Outro]
  G                 A7              D
You'll always be a fire I can't put out.
