[Verse 1]
C Em
Oh babe meet me in Tompkins Square Park
Am
I wanna hold you in the dark
Em
One last time
F
Just one last time
C Em
And oh babe can you tell what's on my tongue
Am
Can you guess that I'll be gone
Em
With the twilight
F
With the twilight
[Chorus]
F Am G
But no flame burns forever oh no
F
You and I both know this all too well
Am G
And most don't even last the night
No they don't they say they don't
[Verse 2]
C Em
Oh babe I've never been so lost
Am
I wanna hear you lie
Em
One last time
F
Just one last time
C Em
But oh babe I really wish you would not cry
Am
I only ever told you one lie
Em
When it could have been a thousand
F
It might as well have been a thousand
[Chorus]
F Am G
But no flame burns forever oh no
F
You and I both know this all too well
Am G
And most don't even last the night
No they don't they say they don't
F Am G
And we can talk it round again girl
F
Round and round round and round again
Am G
Or we could leave it out to die
Leave it out just leave it out
[Bridge]
Dm Am
I never tried to trick you babe
G
I just tried to work it out
Dm
But I was swallowed up by doubt
Dm Am
If only things were black and white
G
Cause I just want to hold you tight
Dm
Without holding back my mind
F
Without holding back my mind
F Am G G
F Am G G
[Chorus]
F Am G
But no flame burns forever oh no
F
You and I both know this all too well
Am G
And most don't even last the night
