Burning Too Hot to Last Owen Temple
By Owen Temple

The first [C]time I loved I didn’t know how good that it could [F]be
To have a[C]nother heart see in you everything you hoped they’d [G]see
If someone [C]said the feeling wouldn’t last there’s no way I’d ever be[F]lieve
That [C]something I felt so true and fast could ever slip a[G]way from [C]me
Chorus 1:
But the [F]flames of passion [C]burned it up
When early [G]days of attraction [C]passed
Like a [F]meteor entering the [C]atmosphere
[C]Burning too [G]hot to [C]last
And I’m so tired of hearing that a burning heart is the only love that’s true
And that the mystery of loving only lasts just as long as the love is new
Cause when the first part’s done the real work starts, you get down and roll up your sleeves
The real trick is building an enduring love, the kind that don’t ever leave
Chorus 1
When the [Am]love’s not tempered by a common trust
[C]Hearts can’t take the strain
When the [Am]fire’s all gone, what you got left
is a [C]smoky kind of [G]pain
Chorus 2:
Yeah, the flames of passion can burn it up
When early days of attraction pass
Like a meteor entering the atmosphere
Burning too hot to last
