          C                                                 F
The first time I loved I didn’t know how good that it could be
         C                                                   G
To have another heart see in you everything you hoped they’d see
           C                                                        F 
If someone said the feeling wouldn’t last there’s no way I’d ever believe
     C                                                  G        C 
That something I felt so true and fast could ever slip away from me


Chorus 1:
        F                 C 
But the flames of passion burned it up
           G                  C
When early days of attraction passed
       F                   C
Like a meteor entering the atmosphere
C           G      C
Burning too hot to last


And I’m so tired of hearing that a burning heart is the only love that’s true
And that the mystery of loving only lasts just as long as the love is new
Cause when the first part’s done the real work starts, you get down and roll up your sleeves
The real trick is building an enduring love, the kind that don’t ever leave


Chorus 1


         Am               
When the love’s not tempered by a common trust
C
Hearts can’t take the strain
         Am
When the fire’s all gone, what you got left 
     C             G
is a smoky kind of pain


Chorus 2:
Yeah, the flames of passion can burn it up
When early days of attraction pass
Like a meteor entering the atmosphere
Burning too hot to last
