Written by Willie Nelson
G D7 G I've been trying so hard to forget you D7 G But this chore of forgetting I find C G Has me burning both ends of the candle D7 G And fighting a battle with time D7 G What I'd give just to sleep for a moment D7 G But it's a luxury that I can't afford C G For I know that I just dream about you D7 G And my tears start falling once more C G So I'm burning both ends of the candle D7 G I just hope that it lasts through the night C G For each moment the candle is burning D7 G Brings closer the ending of life Repeat #3
