Lyrics

A dy ing flame,

you’re free a gain.

Who could love

and do that to you?

All dressed in black,

Save your tears,

you’ve got years and years.

The pains of sev ven teens

un real, they’re on ly dreams.

Save your cry ing for the day.

(Am7)Fool, if you think it’s o ver

’cause you said good bye.

(Am7)Fool, if you think it’s o ver, I’ll tell you why.

(Am7)New born eyes al ways (D)cry with pain at the (Gmaj7)first look at the morn ing sun.

(Am7)Fool if you think it’s o ver, it’s just be gun.

Miss teen age dream,

such a tra gic scene.

He knocked your crown

and ran a way.

First wound of pride

but how you cried and cried.

But save your tears

you’ve years and years.

(Am7)Fool, if you think it’s o ver

’cause you said good bye.

(Am7)Fool, if you think it’s o ver, I’ll tell you why.

I’ll buy your first good wine,

(G)ooh, we’ll have a real good time

and save your cry ing for the day.

(Am7)Fool, if you think it’s o ver, it’s just be gun.

(Am7)Fool, if you think it’s o ver, it’s just be gun.
