Em 
I've got flowers but there ain't no grave 
Em 
You're still walkin' 'round but nothing's changed 
G                           D                     Em 
 I've stopped breathin' but I'm still feelin' the pain 

Em 
Everywhere I go, I hear Your name 
Em 
Want to get out, want to get off of this street, out of this place 
G                           D                      A 
 You're still breathin' but You're not feelin' the pain 

Put out the fire, can't kill the flame 

Em           G 
I - I - I -   I know I'm free but still 
   D               A

Beside The Mississippi flood, This love won't give up 
       D               A 
No, it don't run dry,   Why-y-y

It's gone, it's gone, but it ain't dead and gone 
      D                   A 
It's gone, it's gone, but it ain't dead and gone

I'm not twisted, bitter, I'm not mad 
Em 
 I just wish You would get off My map 
G                     D                    A 
 I've been hidin' but You keep findin' My tracks 

Why do You keep on comin' back? 

Em           G 
I - I - I -   I know I'm free but still
