Am
Out of all the things
Em
You've ever done
Am                       Em
This time I can't go back
Am
When a heart gets broke
Em
This many times
Am                     Em
It's easy to lose track

Chorus:
Dm     Em       Dm
Takin' all this pain
         Dm    Em      Dm
And you know I can't regain
Am       Em         Am  Em
The flame, oh the flame

Like a dream to me time with you
So unreal
Maybe another life love for me
Is what you feel

Chorus:
Taking all this pain
And you know I can't regain
The flame, oh

Greater men made it here
Only to turn back
So cut me loose, if you want
Or tighten up the slack

Chorus:
Taking all this pain
And you know we can't regain
The flame
Oh, the flame
Yeah oh
