 [Intro]
F#m F#m G Em

[Verse 1]
F#m
   Wine is on your blouse
F#m
   You think it's
 so romantic
G
 But in reality
Em
  We’re both just
addicts

[Chorus]
D
 I am not the girl
I set out to be
Bm
  Let me make my
grief a commodity
F#m A             D#
Do  what I can to survive
D
 There is candle wax
melting in my veins
Bm
  So I keep myself
standing in your flames
F#m   A        D#
Burn, burn me alive

   Petrol my perfume
G
 Bite marks on my back
Em
  I never could say no

   But I want you to
G
 I'd break off my ribs

  To make another you

You made me bite my tongue
And now there’s
 blood in my glass
Will you buy me
 a new onе?
This is too good to last

 I am not the girl
 I set out to be

How to play Burn Alive: key, chords and progression

These are Burn Alive chords by The Last Dinner Party on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Burn Alive by The Last Dinner Party is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 7 chords: F#m, G, Em, D, Bm, A and D#.

The backbone of the song is D – Bm – F#m – A (I – vi – iii – V in D major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – mi – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, F#m, Bm and D# need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
