[Verse 1]

        A                                  D
From my tape deck there's a recklessness
        D                          E
Inflections of the world we want
        A                       D
All my friends  my rusty truck
       D                                 E
We're just specks of love  directionless
       A                                 D
Call this band just what we want
        D                                 E
We can change the name from month to month
       A                      D
Four guitars and zero drums
       D                                   E       D
We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk
E                          D E
In a world post punk


[Verse 2]

        A                      D
My friend had an old guitar
       D                                    E
He took some lessons didn't get very far
      A                         D
An Ibanez with one knob stuck
     D                                 E
Said  "You can have that thing for fifty bucks"
     A                                 D
Laura got a bass but it got no amp
      D                                  E
Borrowed skills but never gave it back
   A                                  D
Luke is just learning how to strum
    D                                                   E       D
But since he was the worst  we made him play the drums
E                D E
Play the drums


[Chorus]

     A
You may find
     D
In the palm
     E
Of your hand
     D
There's a flame
     A
As it burns
     D
As it climbs
      E
As it turns
      D
To a blaze
      A
Well this flame
      D
It won't last
       E
Here it comes
       D
Hold it close
       A
Cause this blaze
       D
Can be fast
       E                      D
Set it free now there it goes

[Verse 3]

   A                                D
Luke's mom said that after school
   D                                    E
We could rehearse in the living room
   A                                 D
But that sure didn't last too long
  D                                           E
Guess she didn't know we'd play Fugazi songs
   A                                        D
We played these songs in the talent show
   D                                            E
And all of the girls would be in the front row
   A                                   D
But in the end we just chickened out
D                                          E        D
Because we can't sing  we can only shout
E           D E
Only shhh


[Chorus]

    A
You may find
     D
In the palm
     E
Of your hand
     D
There's a flame
     A
As it burns
     D
As it climbs
      E
As it turns
      D
To a blaze
      A
Well this flame
      D
It won't last
       E
Here it comes
       D
Hold it close
       A
Cause this blaze
       D
Can be fast
       E                      D
Set it free now there it goes
