Verses: played using an electro-acoustic guitar with a Wah-wha
        pedal

Dm/C              Bb/A                  C/A
You quiver like a candle on fire,       I’m puttin’ you out
Maybe tonight     we could be the       last shout
And i’m fasci  -  nated by your style,
your beauty will last for a while

Additional Lyrics:
Verse 2:
You’re feeling instead of being
The more that iI live on the inside
There’s nothing to give
I’m infatuated by your moves
I’ve got to search out for your clues

Verse 3:
I want to repair your desire
And call it a gift that i stole from,
Just wanting to live
Now I see the vision through your eyes
Your innocence no longer fuels surprise

Verse 4:
Trying to outrun your fear
Your running to lose, heart on your sleeve
And your soul in our shoes
Take a left, A sharp left
And Another left, meet me on the corner
And we’ll start again
