As recorded by Aimee Mann (From the 2021 Album QUEENS OF THE SUMMER HOTEL) [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
