Roman Candle

D  E  C#m  2x

[Verse 1]
D                                      E
Please don't live the same year eighty times
C#m                       D                             E
   Lord knows that if you do you can't ever call that a life
C#m                    D                          E
 It's true my darling, I love watching TV in your tiny room
      C#m                         D
But I swear there must be so much more
                  E
Stepping out your door

[Chorus]
C#m             D  E  C#m  D
The days'll run away
                  E      C#m
So let's go up in flames
    D     E  C#m  D     E  C#m
Hey!

[Verse 2]
D                             E                    C#m
It's obscene, when I was seventeen I had no wisdom teeth
                      D                                  E
They say "just be yourself" like that's an easy thing to be
C#m                    D                         E
No you don't need a boyfriend now, oh honey pie, oh girl
                  C#m
I'll show you the world
               D                     E  C#m
Here's another photo staring back at me

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
D                E
 The days'll run away
   C#m            D
Maybe this time tomorrow
                       E
I'll have something to say
C#m                 D  E
 These days'll run away
C#m                  D
Burning like a Roman Candle
                   E     C#m
And we'll go up in flames

A  F#m  Bm  C#m

[Bridge]
A               D
  Fireworks and new skies
             Bm
Explode anti-clockwise from the past
           C#m
There's no use in looking back
A                        D
  But I could tell you a story
              Bm
I'm dying for glory, don't want fame
           C#m
Just wanna burn, go up in flames


[Chorus]
D                 E
 The days'll run away
C#m                D
Maybe this time tomorrow
                       E
I'll have something to say
         C#m          D E
Yeah the days'll run away
C#m                  D
Burning like a Roman Candle
                  E
So let's go up in flames

     C#m          D E
 The days'll run away
C#m                  D
Burning like a Roman Candle
                       E
Let's go up, up, up in flames
     C#m          D E
 The days'll run away
C#m               D
Take my hand, oh! Come on darling
                 E     C#m
Come on let's be brave
