By Owen Temple 3/28/2010 C F The first time I loved I didnt know how good that it could be C G To have another heart see in you everything you hoped theyd see C F If someone said the feeling wouldnt last theres no way Id ever believe C G C That something I felt so true and fast could ever slip away from me Chorus 1: F C But the flames of passion burned it up G C When early days of attraction passed F C Like a meteor entering the atmosphere C G C Burning too hot to last And Im so tired of hearing that a burning heart is the only love thats true And that the mystery of loving only lasts just as long as the love is new Cause when the first parts done the real work starts, you get down and roll up your sleeves The real trick is building an enduring love, the kind that dont ever leave Chorus 1 Am When the loves not tempered by a common trust C Hearts cant take the strain Am When the fires all gone, what you got left C G is a smoky kind of 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
