The Flame That Flickered

C D G Em C D G C D G You called me to say it was over C D G I'd kind of figured that much C D G You were there if I needed a shoulder C D G And you said we might stay in touch C D G I said "Yes", I said "No", I said "Maybe" C D G While you said all there was to say C D G Em I kept what I felt in the back of my mind C D G And broke down as you walked away C D G Your love was too hard to handle C D G You told me you loved me - you lied C D G Em And we went out like you'd blow out a candle C D G The flame, it just flickered and died. C D G Em C D G C D G I see you sometimes in the distance C D G I see you sometimes in a dream C D G You're living for now, I can't somehow C D G I'm living for what might have been C D G Your love was too hard to handle C D G You told me you loved me - you lied C D G Em And we went out like you'd blow out a candle C D G The flame, it just flickered and died. C D G Em Yes we went out like you'd blow out a candle C D G The flame, it just flickered and died.
