[C#] [B] [E]
[B]
[E]
Today I burned your old love letters
I [B] burned them gently one [E] by one
And as I'd light the flame I'd read it
[B] So I could see what you [E] had done
[A] The first you wrote me [E] was the sweetest
The last one broke my heart [B] in two
Our [E] love now lies among the embers
In [B] the ashes of your letters [E] tied in two
[B]
[E]
[F#] [A] [B]
[E]
And as I burned your old love letters
[B] It brought back memories from [E] the past
It told about you and your new love
[B] A love I knew could never [E] last
[A] The first you wrote me [E] was the sweetest
The last one broke my heart [B] in two
And [E] as I'd light the flame I'd read it
[B] For I can say I still [E] love you
