       Cm           D
Don't dwell on the past
 Fm           G     Cm        D
Of there was lost and didn't last
Fm    G           Cm    D
That summer bloom is fading fast
Fm       G     Cm    D  Fm G
But I'm falling for you

Don't dwell on the pain
The tears you've cried and autumn rain
That that weather is here and come again
But I'm waiting for you

Don't dwell on the loss
Fools that were still breaking toss
That winter's heart will spear and double cross
But I'm yearning for you

Don't dwell on the time
Seasons change and so does the clime
That old flame has cooled but I
But I'm burning for you

Yes I am burning for you
Oh I am burning for you
