[Intro ]
Am hold until drums come in 
C Em 
Am Em F 


verse 1 
C                   Em 
Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins Square Park 
        Am 
I wanna hold you in the dark 
         Em 
One last time 
              F 
Just one last time 
    C                                Em 
And oh babe, can you tell what's on my tongue? 
                           Am 
Can you guess that I'll be gone? 
        Em 
With the twilight 
         F 
With the twilight 



[Refrão]
 
F                      Am       G 
  But no flame burns forever, oh no 
                                 F 
You and I both know this all too well 
                Am           G 
And most don't even last the night 
No they don't, they say they don't 


verse 2 
C                   Em 
Oh babe, I've never been so lost 
        Am 
I wanna hear you lie 
         Em 
One last time 
              F 
Just one last time 
    C                                   Em 
But oh babe, I really wish you would not cry 
                      Am 
I only ever told you one lie 
                          Em 
When it could have been a thousand 
                             F 
It might as well have been a thousand

F                      Am       G 
  But no flame burns forever, oh no 
                                 F 
You and I both know this all too well 
                Am           G 
And most don't even last the night 
No they don't, they say they don't 
F            Am              G 
  And we can talk it round again girl 
                                  F 
Round and round, round and round again 
            Am              G 
Or we could leave it out to die 
Leave it out just leave it out 


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

F Am G G 
F Am G G

F                      Am        G 
  But no flame burns forever, oh no 
                                 F 
You and I both know this all too well 
                Am           G 
And most don't even last the night
