Chorus:
C             G                 F
Don't put my love on your back burner
C              G                 F
Never let anything that hot get cold
 C                           G
And if you ever change your mind
         F
Want to leave my love behind
      C             G              F
Just let me be the second one to know
           F
Yeah, the second one to know

C                 G
Hold up my right hand
F
Swear to the Promised Land
C             G                F
Rather die before I treat you bad
C               G
All I ask from you
F
Is to treat me the same way, too
C                       G                  F
'Cause I don't want to lose this thing we have

Chorus

First, you stole my heart
That was the easy part
Don't ever tell me that crime don't pay
Now that it's in your hands
Want you to understand
I would have given it to you anyway

Chorus:
Don't put my love on your back burner
Never let anything that hot get cold
And if you ever change your mind
Wanna leave my love behind
Just let me be the second one to know
Yeah, the second one to know
