That Old Flame

INTRO:  A

VERSE 1:
          A                                              D
Got a message in my mailbox from an old friend I hardly see
         A                E                          A
All it said was you were trying to get in touch with me
        A                                                        D
And I stared down at your number, and I felt passion and I felt fear
       A                              E                   D          A
And I wondered what the hell you wanted, after all these years

CHORUS:
                  A           E                     A                 D
Cause there is danger in the embers, and you have only yourself to blame
            A                       E                 D         A
If you get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame

VERSES 2:
           A                                                  D
Well I know we ended badly, and I was angry for a long long time
         A                               E                         A
But I've grown some and I wanted you to know that I'm doing just fine
             A                                                D
And I'm not asking for a replay, I got no delusions, got no designs
        A                         E                        D          A
Can I borrow just a little cup of kindness, for Auld Lang Syne

CHORUS:
                  A           E                     A                 D
Cause there is danger in the embers, and you have only yourself to blame
            A                       E                 D         A
If you get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame

BRIDGE:
              F#m                D
Speak to me plain, tell me the truth
        A    E/G#    F#m                Bm
Is it really me you miss, or just your long lost youth?

G  O:   A  |  A       D |  A   E/G#   F#m  |  Bm  |  Bm

FINAL CHORUS:
                 A             E
Yeah, there is danger in the embers
              A                           D
And you know nothing, nothing stays the same
                    A                        E               D           A
Yeah, you can get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame
                    A     F#m                Bm    E         D           A
Yeah, you can get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame
