Intro: A augmentedA D MajorD D E MajorE
     A augmentedA D MajorD D E MajorE

    A augmentedA                    D MajorD
From my tape deck there's a recklessness
    D MajorD             E MajorE
Inflections of the world we want
    A augmentedA            D MajorD
All my friends, my rusty truck
    D MajorD                 E MajorE
We're just specks of love, directionless
    A augmentedA                 D MajorD
Call this band just what we want
    D MajorD                 E MajorE
We can change the name from month to month
    A augmentedA           D MajorD
Four guitars and zero drums
    D MajorD                       E MajorE    D MajorD
We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk
E MajorE             D MajorD E MajorE
In a world post punk

    A augmentedA              D MajorD
My friend had an old guitar
    D MajorD                  E MajorE
He took some lessons didn't get very far
   A augmentedA                D MajorD
An Ibanez with one knob stuck
   D MajorD                 E MajorE
Said, "You can have that thing for fifty bucks"
   A augmentedA                  D MajorD
Laura got a bass but it got no amp
   D MajorD                  E MajorE
Borrowed skills but never gave it back
  A augmentedA                    D MajorD
Luke is just learning how to strum
  D MajorD                                    E MajorE    D MajorD
But since he was the worst, we made him play the drums
E MajorE        D MajorD E MajorE
Play the drums


   A augmentedA
You may find
   D MajorD
In the palm
   E MajorE
Of your hand
   D MajorD
There's a flame
   A augmentedA
As it burns
   D MajorD
As it climes
   E MajorE
As it turns
   D MajorD
To a blaze
   A augmentedA
Well this flame
   D MajorD
It won't last
    E MajorE
Here it comes
    D MajorD
Hold it close
    A augmentedA
Cause this blaze
    D MajorD
Can be fast
    E MajorE           D MajorD
Set it free now there it goes

Instrumental: A, D MajorD E, D, E, A, D, D, E MajorE

  A augmentedA                   D MajorD
Luke's mom said that after school
  D MajorD                     E MajorE
We could rehearse in the living room
  A augmentedA                  D MajorD
But that sure didn't last too long
 D MajorD                      E MajorE
Guess she didn't know we'd play Fugazi songs
  A augmentedA                      D MajorD
We played these songs in the talent show
  D MajorD                      E MajorE
And all of the girls would be in the front row
  A augmentedA                        D MajorD
But in the end we just chickened out
D MajorD                       E MajorE    D MajorD
Because we can't sing, we can only shout
E MajorE      D MajorD E MajorE
Only shhh

  A augmentedA
You may find
   D MajorD
In the palm
   E MajorE
Of your hand
   D MajorD
There's a flame
   A augmentedA
As it burns
   D MajorD
As it climes
   E MajorE
As it turns
   D MajorD
To a blaze
   A augmentedA
Well this flame
   D MajorD
It won't last
    E MajorE
Here it comes
    D MajorD
Hold it close
    A augmentedA
Cause this blaze
    D MajorD
Can be fast
    E MajorE           D MajorD
Set it free now there it goes
