Tom: C
C Em
time, is like a burning candle flaming with light
Am G
drippings of the past surround our future
C Em
life, leaving only residue behind
Am
the flame, the heart, the wick, the brain
G
the wax that covers it all
F G Em Am
protecting all the vital organs of time to come
F G
as time melts away,
Em Am
as so does nature's course
F G C (High F\E\F\E\D thing, Make it up dude!)
a force, even a burning flame cannot escape
(Chorus)
C
life is like a burning candle
Em
just waiting to
F G
melt away
C Em
And time, candle like man's birth
Am
created for life on earth
G C
every memory takes form as does melted wax
Em
some memories they hang
Am G
the others, they only fall
F G Em
the flame, the heart, the wick, the brain
Am F
the wax, protected all
G C Am F
now nothing is left, but the organs of our lives
G Am G C (High F\E\D thing, Make it up dude!)
a force, even a burning Flame cannot escape!
(Chorus)
C
life is like a burning candle
Em
just waiting to
F G
melt away
C
Yeeeeah...life is like a burning fucking candle
Em
just waiting to
F
melt away
G
melt away
Am
melt away
G
melt away
(breakdown Chorus)
C
life is like a burning candle
Em
just waiting to
F G
melt away
C
Aww yeah... life is like a fucking candle
Em
just waiting to
F
melt away
G
melt away
Am (and ring it out)
melt away
