INTRO
D G


VERSE 1
G
Today I burned your old love letters
  D                         G
I burned them gently one by one
    G
And as I'd light the flame I'd read them
    D                         G
For I could see what you have done


CHORUS
    C                          G
The first you wrote me was the sweetest
                               D
The last one broke my heart in two
    G
And as I'd light the flame I'd read it
    D                       G
For I can say I still love you


VERSE 2
And as I burned your old love letters
It brought back memories from the past
It told about you and your new love
A love I knew could never last


(CHORUS)
