From my tape deck there's a recklessness
        D                          E
Inflections of the world we want

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

We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk
E                          D E
In a world post punk

My friend had an old guitar
       D                                    E
He took some lessons didn't get very far

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

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

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

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
