[Intro]
D G D G

[Verse 1]
G D
I guess everybody heard
G
You left me
D G
Nobody said a word, but I can tell in how they talk
Bm G
All the, “Call me if you need me”
D
“How you holdin’ ups?”
G D
Come steady for a few weeks
A
But they’re gone within a month

[Chorus]
G D
They say time heals, but how long does it take?
G A
I love you more than when you walked away
Bm G D G
You tell me not to call, but what’s a man like me to do?
A D G
I guess the fire burns the hottest where it’s blue

[Verse 2]
G D
I tried to drown it out with noise
G
But there you whispеred
D G
In the silencе, baby is where I hear you scream
Bm G
Holdin’ on has got me hurtin’
Bm G
Lettin’ go is only pain
G
Whether this or that
A
It’s just a matter of fact that it all just fuels the flame

[Chorus]
G D
They say time heals, but how long does it take?
G A
I love you more than when you walked away
Bm G D G
You tell me not to call, but what’s a man like me to do?
A D
I guess the fire burns the hottest where it’s blue

[Bridge]
Bm G
All of my friends are scared to say your name
D A
Whenever I’m around
Bm G
‘Cause they know I’ll get to runnin’
D A
Whenever I hear that sound
Bm G
Now that you’re put back together
D
And the years have made you whole
Bm A G
I’ll fake a smile
A
But I’m still broke

[Chorus]
G D
They say time heals, but how long does it take?
G A
I love you more than when you walked away
Bm G D G
You tell me not to call, but what’s a man like me to do?
A Bm A
I guess the fire burns the hottest where it’s blue

[Outro]
G A D G D G
Baby, that fire’s still burnin’ for you
