Damn this is a great song, so here we go with a tab for it
im not really that great at making tab so just use this as a rough guide
however i think its pretty accurate, the chords are at least

Intro:
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-10-14---15-17-12---12-14-15--14-15-17-12--|
G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|


A          D           A
I live a life that's surreal
       D          A            E
Where all that I feel I am learning.
    A              D              A
For life has been turned on the lathe,
    D             A                  E
Reshaped with a flame that's still burning.


       F#m              E        A
And in time, it's all a sweet mystery,
          D          A           E
When you shake the tree of temptation.
        F#m              E            A
Yeah, and I, I know the fear and the cost,
        D        A            E
Of a paradise lost in frustration.


Chorus:
          A          E
And the flame still burns
        Bm                     A           E
It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
          A           E
And the flame still burns
          Bm                  A         E
From a glimmer back then, it lights up again
A
In my life, In my life yeah


Solo:
(play chorus chords under it)

   A           D              A
I, I want my thoughts to be heard
        D      A           E
The unspoken words of my wisdom
A                D              A
Today, as the light starts to Flow
D              A              E
Tomorrow who knows who will listen?


        F#m              E         A
But my life has no language in love,
      D        A           E
No word from above is appearing.
         F#m                E             A
all the time, and time is a fire that's stoked,
            D        A           E
With the reason of hope and believing.


Chorus
          A           E
And the flame still burns
         Bm                           A         E
Yeah, it's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
           A          E
And the flame still burns
         Bm                    A       E
From a glimmer back then, it lights up again
       A
In my life

_______________________________________________________

another great track from still crazy though not really worth its own tab
the cool guitar break when kid comes over hill with ghetto-blaster and sheep

tequila mockingbird "track 1"

the soundtack hasnt got this on it, but a variation of this is on brians theme
play it with overdrive reverb and maybe a bit of chorus
