[Intro]
E A A B
E A A B
[Verse 1]
E A
From my tape deck there's a recklessness
B
Inflections of the world we want
E A
All my friends, my rusty truck
B
We're just specks of love, directionless
E A
Call this band just what we want
B
We can change the name from month to month
E A
Four guitars and zero drums
B Bb A B
We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk
A B
In a world post punk
[Verse 2]
E A
Well my friend had an old guitar
B
He took some lessons didn't get very far
E A
An Ibanez with one knob stuck
B
Said, "You can have that thing for fifty bucks"
E A
Laura got a bass but it got no amp
B
Borrowed skills but never gave it back
E A
Luke is just learning how to strum
B Bb A
But since he was the worst, we made him play the drums
Bb B
Play the drums
[Chorus]
E A
You may find, In the palm
B A
Of your hand, There's a flame
E A
As it burns, As it climes
B A
As it turns, To a blaze
E A
Well this flame, It won't last
B A
Here it comes, Hold it close
E A
Cause this blaze, Can be fast
B A
Set it free now there it goes
{Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
E A
Luke's mom said that after school
B
We could rehearse in the living room
E A
But that sure didn't last too long
B
Guess she didn't know we'd play Fugazi songs
E A
We played these songs in the talent show
B
And all of the girls would be in the front row
E A
But in the end we just chickened out
B Bb A
Because we can't sing, We can on--ly shout
Bb B
On-ly shhh
[Chorus]
E A
You may find, In the palm
B A
Of your hand, There's a flame
E A
As it burns, As it climes
B A
As it turns, To a blaze
E A
Well this flame, It won't last
B A
Here it comes, Hold it close
E A
Cause this blaze, Can be fast
B A
Set it free now there it goes
