C          C/Am        Am        F 
Don't you worry 'bout hurting me 
I've been hurt before 
Don't you worry 'bout using me 
I always knew the score 
Don't get excited 
When I come and go 
My claim to fame baby was a long, long time ago 
 
F                 G             C 
I can't stop the burning in my soul 
 
C  C/Am  Am  F   (2x) 
 
C        C/Am         Am    F 
Did you get what you wanted 
Are you through with me 
I can feel your nails cutting 
I bleed so easily 
The angels of mercy 
Never rescued my soul 
My claim to fame baby was a long, long time ago 
 
CHORUS: 
F                 G             C 
I can't stop the burning in my soul   (2x) 
 
C  C/Am  Am  F 
 
C   C/Am        Am   F 
So don't get excited 
'Cause it's only me 
The same guy you've been laughing at 
Continuously 
But I ain't no threat now 
We all come and go 
My claim to fame baby was a long, long time ago 
 
CHORUS: 
F                 G             Am 
I can't stop the burning in my soul 
F                 G             C     C/Am Am 
I can't stop the burning in my soul 
F                 G              C     C/Am  
Am  F  C 
I can't stop the burning in my soul
