[Verse 1]
GC
The knees are bent and the hands are clasped
DC
The painted head is bowed
GC
A sudden glimpse through heaven’s gate
DC
Is all that I'm allowed
GC
My hair is black and my eyes are green
DC
But Marie is not my name
[Refrain]
EmAmEmAmC
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame
[Chorus]
CBm7
His lamest flame will be
Am7G
Too brief and burn too pale
CBm7Am7D
And all attempts to fire it up again will fail
GC
I run around behind his friends
DC
And play the waiting game
[Refrain]
EmAmEmAmC
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
GCDC
I tell myself a million times there’s nothing I can do
GC
So why do I keep holding on?
DC
I only wish I knew
GC
I was born too weak and I feel like a fool
DC
But he's out of my domain
[Refrain]
EmAmEmAmC
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame
[Chorus]
CBm7
His lamest flame will die
Am7G
Before the night is out
CBm7
Just a heap of ash
Am7D
The wind has blown about
[Verse 3]
GC
For him, these feelings fade away
DC
But for me, they’re still the same
[Refrain]
EmAmEmAmC
Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
G
His lamest flame

[Chorus]
CBm7
His lamest flame is here
Am7G
And flickering its last
CBm7
And through the dying light
Am7D
We journey to the past
[Verse 4]
GC
But still I’d give up all I’ve got
DC
To have him back again
[Outro]

Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na

His lamest flame

Na, na, na-na, na, na, na-na, na
