That Old Flame Lyrics
by Don Henley
INTRO: A
VERSE 1:
Got a message in my mailbox from an old friend I hardly see
All it said was you were trying to get in touch with me
And I stared down at your number, and I felt passion and I felt fear
And I wondered what the hell you wanted, after all these years
CHORUS:
Cause there is danger in the embers, and you have only yourself to blame
If you get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame
VERSES 2:
Well I know we ended badly, and I was angry for a long long time
But I've grown some and I wanted you to know that I'm doing just fine
And I'm not asking for a replay, I got no delusions, got no designs
Can I borrow just a little cup of kindness, for Auld Lang Syne
CHORUS:
Cause there is danger in the embers, and you have only yourself to blame
If you get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame
BRIDGE:
Speak to me plain, tell me the truth
Is it really me you miss, or just your long lost youth?
SOLO: A | A D | A E/G# F#m | Bm | Bm
FINAL CHORUS:
Yeah, there is danger in the embers
And you know nothing, nothing stays the same
Yeah, you can get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame
Yeah, you can get burned when you try to rekindle that old flame
