I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that 
 

     C#
I-love-you I just
   Bbm               F#
I feel like this is coming to an end
                          C#              Bbm 
And its better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
F#
  I gotta let it burn
[Verse 1]
            C#  
It's gonna burn for me to say this
          Bbm 
But it's comin from my heart
             F#
It's been a long time coming, but we been fell apart
        C#
Really wanna work this out
              Bbm
But I don't think you're gonna change
   F#
I do but you don't
                    D#m             G#
Think it's best we go our separate ways
C#                    Bbm
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
F# 
  When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
C#                          Bbm   F#
Plus theres so many other things    I gotta deal with
             D#m         G#     C#
I think that you should let it burn


[Chorus]
C#                          Bbm                       F#
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
                                                  C#
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Bbm                      
Even though this might bruise you
        F#           D#m   G#               C# 
Let it burn   Let it burn     Gotta let it burn
C#                       Bbm           
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
F#
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
         C#                      Bbm 
But you know that it's over, we know that it's through
        F#             D#m  G#               C# 
Let it burn ,  Let it burn,    Gotta let it burn


[Verse 2]
Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feelin ain't the same find myself
Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel
I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late
I know she ain't comin back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my booo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours
Imma be burnin' till you return (let it burn)
[Chorus]
C#                          Bbm                       F#
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
                                                  C#
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Bbm                      
Even though this might bruise you
        F#           D#m   G#               C# 
Let it burn   Let it burn     Gotta let it burn
C#                       Bbm           
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
F#
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
         C#                      Bbm 
But you know that it's over, we know that it's through
        F#             D#m  G#               C# 
Let it burn ,  Let it burn,    Gotta let it burn

I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
F#
  On the other side I wanna break down and cry (ooooh)
C#                          Bbm 
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
F#                           D#m            G#

[Chorus]
C#                          Bbm                       F#
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
