capo 1
A D
from my tape deck there’s a recklessness
D E
inflections of the world we want
A D
all my friends , my rusty truck
D E
we’re just specks of love , directionless
A D
call this band just what we want
D E
we can change the name from month to month
A D
four guitars and zero drums
D E D
we sounded folk but we wanted to be punk
E D E
in a world post punk
A D
my friend had an old guitar
D E
he took some lessons didn’t get very far
A D
an ibanez with one knob stuck
D E
said , “you can have that thing for fifty bucks”
A D
laura got a bass but it got no amp
D E
borrowed skills but never gave it back
A D
luke is just learning how to strum
D E D
but since he was the worst , we made him play the drums
E D E
play the drums
A
you may find
D
in the palm
E
of your hand
D
there’s a flame
A
as it burns
D
as it climes
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
instrumental : A , D E , D , E , A , D , D , E
A D
luke’s mom said that after school
D E
we could rehearse in the living room
A D
but that sure didn’t last too long
D E
guess she didn’t know we’d play fugazi songs
A D
we played these songs in the talent show
D E
and all of the girls would be in the front row
A D
but in the end we just chickened out
D E D
because we can’t sing , we can only shout
E D E
only shhh
A
you may find
D
in the palm
E
of your hand
D
there’s a flame
A
as it burns
D
as it climes
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
instrumental : A , D E , D , E , A , D , D , E , A
