Flame Trees Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Drum fill]
[G][G][D][D]
[G][G][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Kids out driving
saturday after[D]noon just pass me by
[G]And I'm just savoring
fa[D]miliar sights
[G]We share some history,
[D]this town and I
[G]And I can't sto[A]p
that long for[F#m]gotten feeling of [G]her
[G]Try to book a roo[A]m
and stay to[D]night[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Number one is to
find some friends to [D]say "You're doing well
[G]After all this time
you boys look [D]just the same"
[G]Number two is the happy hour
at the [D]one of two hotels
[G]And settle in to pla[A]y
"Do you re[F#m]member so and [G]so?"
[G]And number three is
[A]never say her [D]name[D]

[Chorus 1]
Oh the [G]flame trees
will [A]blind the weary [Em]driver
And there's [G]nothing else
could [A]set fire to this [D]town
There's no [G]change, there's no [A]pace
Every[Bm]thing within its [D]place
Just makes it [G]harder to be[A]lieve
that she won't [D]be around

[Verse 3]
[G]Oh, who needs that
senti[D]mental bullshit, anyway?
[G]Takes more than just a memory
to [D]make me cry
[G]And I'm happy just to sit here
at a [D]table with old friends
[G]And see which one of us
can tell the biggest [D]lies

[Verse 4]
And there's a [G]girl, she's falling in love
near where the pia[D]nola stands
[G]With a young local factory auto worker
just [D]holding hands
And I'm [G]wondering if he'll [F#m]go or if he'll sta[A]y

[Bridge 1]
[Bb]Do you remembe[F]r,
nothing [Bb]stopped us on the [F]field
In our [C]day[D]

[Chorus 2]
Oh the [G]flame trees
will [A]blind the weary [Em]driver
And there's [G]nothing else
could [A]set fire to this [D]town
There's no [G]change, there's no [A]pace
Every[Bm]thing within its [D]place
Just makes it [G]harder to be[A]lieve
that she won't [D]be around

[Chorus 3]
Oh the [G]flame trees
will [A]blind the weary [Em]driver
And there's [G]nothing else
could [A]set fire to this [D]town
There's no [G]change, there's no [A]pace
Every[Bm]thing within its [D]place
Just makes it [G]harder to be[A]lieve
that she won't [D]be around
