[Intro] C G F C G F C [Verse 1]
        G         F                C
I had a slow burn for you darling

        G              F      C
We were walking by the river

      G           F              C
I was young and a fool, darling

         G          F        C
I didn't know about forever
[Verse 2]
          G        F                 C
We took a train to Vermont, darling

             G         F            C
We skied the mountains in the west

            G         F                C
And all the while the fire smouldered

          G          F         Eb
I felt it burning in my chest
[Verse 3]
        F              C      Eb
We were walking by the ocean

       F            C       Eb
On the coast of California

            F             C
I felt that I should tell you something

             F      G        C
But then the moment passed
[Verse 4]
          G          F                    C
Life went on for us, darling
(I was never very far)
        G            F                      C
We went our separate ways
(But I had to stay away)
       G                 F                     C
I very seldom thought of you, darling
(Hard to remember)
             G     F      Eb
The past was all a haze
[Verse 5]
       F              C                       Eb
Then I saw you in the city
(Couldn't believe my eyes)
          F          C                              Eb
Your eyes lit up and so did mine
(There was so much to say)
            F             C                 F
We walked together by the reservoir
(Hold my hand)
                      G      C
And shared a glass of wine
[Verse 6]
            G             F         C
The time has passed away, darling

              G         F             C
I thought the flame was burning out

         G       F               C
I had my life to live, darling

            G         F       Eb
Could I let go of any doubt
[Verse 7]
       F                       C                   Eb
When I saw you that day in the city
(Memories floated back)
           F         C                        Eb
I suffered such a surprise
(It all was such a surprise)
             F           C                  F
The fire was lit and the slow burn started

             G        C
Had it never died
[Verse 8]
              G          F                             C
Now there's a slow burn, darling
(Just like there'd been before)
       G         F                      C
Like a sweet and smoky song
(A longing in our hearts)
           G            F                           C
And what I didn't know, darling
(Maybe this was meant to be)
              G        F
Was that your love was never gone
[Outro]
         C
I have a slow burn

         Am
I have a slow burn

         G
I have a slow burn

    C
For you

         C
I have a slow burn

         Am
I have a slow burn

         G
I have a slow burn

    C
For you
