Tom: Dm

Dm F Am Dm Am Bb

[Verse]
F                   Am
Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins Square Park
  Dm
I wanna hold you in the dark
         Am                  Bb
One last time, just one last time
F                               Am
Oh babe, can you tell what’s on my tongue?
                           Dm
Can you guess that I’ll be gone?
     Am                     Bb
With the twilight, With the twilight

[Chorus]
               Dm       C
No flame burns forever, oh no
C                             Bb
You and I both know this all too well
           Dm         C
Most don't even last the night
C
No they don't, they say they don't

[Verse]
F                   Am
Oh babe, I've never been so lost
Dm
I wanna hear you lie
         Am                  Bb
One last time, just one last time
F                                    Am
But oh babe, I really wish you would not cry
                     Dm
I only ever told you one lie
                        Am              
When it could have been a thousand
                           Bb
It might as well have been a thousand

[Chorus]
Bb                 Dm       C
But no flame burns forever, oh no
C                             Bb
You and I both know this all too well
           Dm         C
Most don't even last the night
C
No they don't, they say they don't
Bb            D             C
   And we can talk it round again girl
C                                Bb
Round and round, round and round again
         Dm               C
We could leave it out to die
C
Leave it out, just leave it out


[Bridge] 

(single strum)

Gm                Dm
I never tried to trick you babe
             C
I just tried to work it out
                    Gm
But I was swallowed up by doubt
                    Dm
If only things were black and white
                     F
Cause I just want to hold you tight
                        Gm     Bb
Without holding back my mind
Bb
Without holding back my mind

[Solo] 
Bb Dm C C x2

[Chorus]  
Bb               Dm        C
  No flame burns forever, oh no
C                             Bb
You and I both know this all too well
           Dm         C
Most don't even last the night.
