[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G]
[C][G][Am][G][D]
[G][Am][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]And now the flame is out,
[C]but the light burns on[G]
No one ever [Em]said he was [C]bigger
than his song[D]s
[G]So few ever knew the [C]heart inside [G]the man
But he [Bm]gave himself [C]away
as only [Am]poets [D]can

[Verse 2]
He took [G]the stories of his people and
[C]gave them back [G]in rhyme
But for the pleasures [Em]of the hearth
[D]there was nev[C]er enough tim[D]e
He [G]said one day he'd quit and [C]then
he would come [G]home
But there was [Bm]always one [C]more stage,
always [Am]one more [D]road

[Verse 3]
The candle's [G]burning at both ends,
it's [C]burning in [G]the middle
There's no time [Em]to stop between
the [C]guitar and the [G]fiddle
A crazy tune,
[Bm]a crazy time [C]you know the words [G]were true
[Am]Smiles lit their eyes but [D]all he ever saw was [G]you

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G]
[Am][D][C][G][D][G][Am]
[D][G]

[Verse 4]
And [G]the road finally claimed him
like [C]a sailor lost [G]at sea
Setting sail on the ho[Em]rizon that
[C]would not let him [D]be
[G]Following a star that [C]drew him
like [G]a flame
And though he [Bm]loved you so
[C]well it was [Am]not the same
[D]

[Verse 5]
The candle's [G]burning at both ends,
it's [C]burning [G]in the middle
There's no time [Em]to stop between
the [C]guitar and the [G]fiddle
A crazy tune,
[Bm]a crazy time [C]you know the words [G]were true
[Am]Smiles lit their eyes but [D]all
he ever saw was [G]you

[Verse 6]
The candle's burning at both ends,
it's [C]burning in [G]the middle
There's no time [Em]to stop between
the [C]guitar and the [G]fiddle
A crazy tune,
[Bm]a crazy time [C]you know the words [G]were true
Smiles [Am]lit their eyes but [D]all
he ever saw was [G]you

[Outro 1]
