[Intro]

[Verse 1]
A Em G D G D A
You know the secrets that live in fire
Em G D G D
What is the promise that flames inspire?
G D A
Can you just burn it out?
Em G D G D A
Shadows and memories that won’t stay put
Em G D G D
Can you redact them with ash and soot?
G D A
Can you just burn it out?

[Chorus]
D G D A
Can you just burn it out?
Em
So thoroughly
Bm
You’ll never see
D A
A trace of yourself in the spark
D G D A
Can you just burn it out?
G
Til it’s dark

[Verse 2]
A Em G D G D A
Ghostly intruders who storm the moat
Em G D G D
Black-booted looters lay knife to throat
G D A
Can you just burn that out?
Em G D G D A
All of the shame that was yours to bear
Em G D G D
Will it ignite like a signal flare
G D A
Can you just burn it out?

[Chorus]
D G D A
Can you just burn it out?
Em
So thoroughly
Bm
You’ll never see
D A
A person who once had a name
D G D A
Can you just burn it out?
G
With a flame

[Bridge]
A Em Bm
Spirits and specters that live in the sulphur streams
D G A
Find their redemption in charcoal dreams

[Chorus]
D G D A
Can you just burn it out?
Em
So thoroughly
Bm
You’ll never see
D A
A trace of yourself in the coal
D G D A
Can you just burn it out?
G D
Of your soul
