Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][C][D][Bm]
[C][G][Gm][Bb][Csus4]
[C]When you were fifteen,

[Verse 1]
[G]
my love
[D]You put your head through [C]hell
[D]Your body was [C]clean, sweet love
[G]But oh, your life was [Bb]far
from being well
[Csus4]When you [C]were sixteen[G], my love
[D]You'd come to be what was[C]
[D]So much had you [C]seen, sweet [G]love
Your face went deathly [Bb]pale,
with hollow eyes
[Csus4]You burne[C]d yourself out,
[G]you burned yoursel[D]f out
[Bm]You did yourself i[D]n [Em]and then
All of the [C]noise, the pills and [Em]the boys
[F]You [E]burned yourself [Am]out again
[D]And then you turned sev[G]enteen,
[D]I took you like a g[C]ame.[D]
But others had [C]known you well,
[G]And taught you every move
[Gm]that[Bb] I could name.
[Csus4]So then y[C]ou gave up our lo[G]ve
[D]And lived our full ups[Em] and downs[C]
[D]The strangers would [C]pick you up
[G]And take you in the back [Bb]to
[Gm]other towns
[Csus4]You've bu[C]rned yourself [G]out,
you've burned your[D]self out[Bm],
and wound up in [D]Idaho[Em]
You married a [C]cop,
the babies don't [F]stop,
there's [E]no further [Am]out to go
[D]You've burned yourself out,
[G]you've burned yourself out[Bm]
You've digged yourself [D]in [Em]and then
For all that you've [C]blamed,
you've fled up and flamed
[F]And bur[E]ned yourself out[Am] again
[D]You've burned yourself out,
[G]you've burned yoursel[Bm]f out
You dipped yourself [D]in [Em]and then
All of the [C]noise, the pills and [Em]the voice
[F]You've bur[E]ned yourself out[Am] and then
