Roman Candle

Am


Verse 1:

           Am
There were eyes on us,
C         A#
Parents advising us
C         Am
Oh, we pretended
 G
Not to hear

          Am
Take your time on us,
C         A#
Ripen the vine of us
C          Am
Oh but you whisper
 G
In my ear:
        Am     Em         C       
"In the Sea of Love there ain't no 
 G
tides -
       Dm        Em      C       
In the clutching fist of time, 
       B
we'll survive"



Chorus:

Continues after the ad
B7             G
My light never burned that bright,
      D                  A         
But I know a sign when I see it
G6

        F        Em
Now you know



Verse 2:

       Am
If the will in me,
C             A#
blinks like a ship at sea,
   C
It doesn't mean
     Am           G
I'm uncertain - just afraid
             Am
You like the sound of love,
   C            A#
Of drinking the dragon's blood
C           Am         G
Oh, but you might not like the taste

       Am     Em         C        
In the sea of love there ain't no 
G
tides
       Dm        Em      C       
In the clutching fist of time, 
       B
we'll survive



Chorus:

B7             G
My light never burned that bright,
      D                  A
But I know a sign when I see you
   C                      G
It darkens my door when I need you
        F       Em
Now you know


Am    G     Am    G


     Am     Em        C       G
In a sea of love that sees no tides,
          Dm        Em      C    
where the clutching fist of time 
     B
is a vice
B7             G
My light never burned that bright,
      D                  A
But I know a sign when I see you
   C                      G
It darkens my door when I need you
        F       Em
Now you know
