[Verse 1]
[C]Oh babe,
meet me in [Em]Tompkins Square Park
I wanna [Am]hold you in the dark
One last [Em]time
Just one last [F]time

[Verse 2]
And [C]oh babe,
can you tell what's on [Em]my tongue?
Can you guess that I'll be [Am]gone?
With the [Em]twilight
With the [F]twilight

[Chorus 1]
[F]But no flame burns foreve[Am]r oh no[G]
You and I both know this all too [F]well
And most don't [Am]even last the [G]night

[Verse 3]
No they don't, they say they don't
[C]Oh babe,
I've never [Em]been so lost
I wanna [Am]hear you lie
One last [Em]time
Just one last [F]time

[Verse 4]
But [C]oh babe,
I really wish you would [Em]not cry
I only ever told you [Am]one lie
When it could have been a [Em]thousand
It might as well have been a [F]thousand

[Chorus 2]
[F]But no flame burns foreve[Am]r oh no[G]
You and I both know this all too [F]well
And most don't [Am]even last the [G]night

[Chorus 3]
No they don't, they say they don't
[F]And we can tal[Am]k it round aga[G]in girl
Round and round, round and round [F]again
Or we could [Am]leave it out to [G]die

[Bridge 1]
Leave it out just leave it out
[Dm]I never tried to trick[Am] you babe
I just tried to [G]work it out
But I was swallowed [Dm]up by doubt
If only things were [Am]black and white
'Cause I just want to [C]hold you tight
Without holding back my [Dm]mind
[F]Without holding back my mind
