Em Am Em Am C G
Em Am Em Am C G
[Verse 1]
G C
The knees are bent and the hands are clasped
D C
The painted head is bowed
G C
A sudden glimpse through heaven’s gate
D C
Is all that I'm allowed
G C
My hair is black and my eyes are green
D C
But Marie is not my name
[Refrain]
Em Am Em Am C
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame
[Chorus]
C Bm7
His lamest flame will be
Am7 G
Too brief and burn too pale
C Bm7 Am7 D
And all attempts to fire it up again will fail
G C
I run around behind his friends
D C
And play the waiting game
[Refrain]
Em Am Em Am C
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame
[Interlude]
Em Am Em Am C G
[Verse 2]
G C D C
I tell myself a million times there’s nothing I can do
G C
So why do I keep holding on?
D C
I only wish I knew
G C
I was born too weak and I feel like a fool
D C
But he's out of my domain
[Refrain]
Em Am Em Am C
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame
[Chorus]
C Bm7
His lamest flame will die
Am7 G
Before the night is out
C Bm7
Just a heap of ash
Am7 D
The wind has blown about
[Verse 3]
G C
For him, these feelings fade away
D C
But for me, they’re still the same
[Refrain]
Em Am Em Am C
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame
[Guitar Solo]
G C D C
G C D C
G C D C
Em Am Em Am
C G
[Chorus]
C Bm7
His lamest flame is here
Am7 G
And flickering its last
C Bm7
And through the dying light
Am7 D
We journey to the past
[Verse 4]
G C
But still I’d give up all I’ve got
D C
To have him back again
[Outro]
Em Am Em Am C
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame
Em Am Em Am C
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame
Em Am Em Am C
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame
