Am
(hold first chord until drums come 
in)
C Em
Am Em F


[Verse 1]

C                   Em
Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins Square 
Park
        Am
I wanna hold you in the dark
         Em
One last time
              F
Just one last time
    C                              
And oh babe, can you tell what’s on
  Em
 my tongue?
                           Am
Can you guess that I’ll be gone?
        Em
With the twilight
         F
With the twilight


[Chorus]

F                      Am       G
  But no flame burns forever, oh no
You and I both know this all too 
F
well
Continúa después del anuncio
                Am           G
And most don't even last the night
No they don't, they say they don't


[Verse 2]

C                   Em
Oh babe, I've never been so lost
        Am
I wanna hear you lie
         Em
One last time
              F
Just one last time
    C                              
But oh babe, I really wish you 
     Em
would not cry
                      Am
I only ever told you one lie
                          Em
When it could have been a thousand
It might as well have been a 
F
thousand


[Chorus]

F                      Am       G
  But no flame burns forever, oh no
You and I both know this all too 
F
well
                Am           G
And most don't even last the night
No they don't, they say they don't
F            Am              G
  And we can talk it round again 
girl
Round and round, round and round 
 F
again
            Am              G
Or we could leave it out to die
Leave it out just leave it out


[Bridge]

Dm                  Am
  I never tried to trick you babe
                G
I just tried to work it out
                    Dm
But I was swallowed up by doubt
Dm                    Am
  If only things were black and 
white
                     C
Cause I just want to hold you tight
                        Dm
Without holding back my mind
F
   Without holding back my mind

F Am G G
F Am G G


[Chorus]

F                      Am        G
  But no flame burns forever, oh no
You and I both know this all too 
F
well
                Am           G
And most don't even last the night
