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

Can you just burn it out
So thoroughly
You'll never see
A trace of yourself in the spark
Can you just burn it out
Til it's dark

Ghostly intruders who storm the moat
Black-booted looters lay knife to throat
Can you just burn that out
All of the shame that was yours to bear
Will it ignite like a signal flare
Can you just burn it out

Can you just burn it out
So thoroughly
You'll never see
A person who once had a name
Can you just burn it out
With a flame

Spirits and specters that live in the sulphur streams
Find their redemption in charcoal dreams

Can you just burn it out
So thoroughly
You'll never see
A trace of yourself in the coal
Can you just burn it out
Of your soul
