Flame Trees
[1]Kids out driving Saturday afternoon [5]just pass me by [1]And I’m just [2M]savoring fam[5]iliar sights [1]We share some history, [5]this town and I
[1]And I can’t [2M]stop that long for[7m]gotten feeling of [8]her [1]Try to book a [2M]room and stay to[5]night
[1]Number one is to find some friends to [5]say “you’re doing well” [1]After all this [2M]time you boys look [5]just the same [1]Number two is the happy hour at [5]one of two hotels [1]Settle in to [2M]play “do you re[7m]member so and [8]so? [1]Number three is [2M]never say her [5]name
Oh the [1]flame trees will [2M]blind the weary [6]driver
And there’s [1]nothing else could [2M]set fire to this [5]town
There’s no [1]change, there’s no [2M]pace Every[3]thing within its [5]place
Just makes it [1]harder to be[2M]lieve that she won’t [5]be around
[1]But oh who needs that sentimental [5]bullshit, anyway
[1]Takes more than just a memory to [5]make me cry
[1]And I’m happy just to sit here a [5]table with old friends
[1]And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies [5]
And there’s a [1]girl falling in [2M]love near where the pia[5]nola stands
[1]With a young local factory auto worker [2M]just [5]holding hands
And I’m [1]wondering if he’ll [7m]go or if he’ll [2M]stay
(G#) [+1]
[1]Do you re[5]member, nothing [1]stopped us on the [5]field In our [2M]day[3]
Oh the [1]flame trees will [2M]blind the weary [6]driver
And there’s [1]nothing else could [2M]set fire to this [5]town
There’s no [1]change, there’s no [2M]pace
Every[3]thing within its [5]place
Just makes it [1]harder to be[2M]lieve that she won’t [5]be around
