[Verse 1]

        A                  
From my tape deck there's a 
                D
recklessness
        D                          E
Inflections of the world we want
        A                       D
All my friends  my rusty truck
       D                  
We're just specks of love  
               E
directionless
       A                           
Call this band just what we want
      D

        D                          
We can change the name from month 
       E
to month
       A                      D
Four guitars and zero drums
       D                           
We sounded folk but we wanted to be
        E       D
 punk
E                          D E
In a world post punk


[Verse 2]

        A                      D
My friend had an old guitar
       D                           
He took some lessons didn't get 
         E
very far
      A                         D
An Ibanez with one knob stuck
     D                             
Said  "You can have that thing for 
    E
fifty bucks"
     A                             
Laura got a bass but it got no amp
    D

      D                          
Borrowed skills but never gave it 
        E
back
   A                               
Luke is just learning how to strum
   D

    D                              
But since he was the worst  we made
                     E       D
 him play the drums
E                D E
Play the drums

[Chorus]

     A
You may find
     D
In the palm
     E
Of your hand
     D
There's a flame
     A
As it burns
     D
As it climbs
      E
As it turns
      D
To a blaze
      A
Well this flame
      D
It won't last
       E
Here it comes
       D
Hold it close
       A
Cause this blaze
       D
Can be fast
       E                      D
Set it free now there it goes

[Verse 3]

   A                               
Luke's mom said that after school
 D

   D                               
We could rehearse in the living 
     E
room
   A                               
But that sure didn't last too long
  D

  D                            
Guess she didn't know we'd play 
               E
Fugazi songs
   A                               
We played these songs in the talent
         D
 show
   D                               
And all of the girls would be in 
             E
the front row
   A                               
But in the end we just chickened 
    D
out
D                                 
Because we can't sing  we can only
         E        D
 shout
E           D E
Only shhh


[Chorus]

    A
You may find
     D
In the palm
     E
Of your hand
     D
There's a flame
     A
As it burns
     D
As it climbs
      E
As it turns
      D
To a blaze
      A
Well this flame
      D
It won't last
       E
Here it comes
       D
Hold it close
       A
Cause this blaze
       D
Can be fast
       E                      D
Set it free now there it goes
