[Verse 1]
[Am]What[C]'d y[Am]ou forget?
Got a light?
I know you, [C]you're
You're [Am]shivering[F]

[Verse 2]
It's nothing [G]They turned
off my [F]heat
And I'm just a little
[G]Weak on my feet
[Em]Would you light [F]my [Em]candle?
What [G]are [C]you staring at?
[Am]Nothing Your

[Verse 3]
[Am]
hair in the moonlight
[C]You[Am] look familia[G]r
Can you make [F]it?
Just [Dm]haven't eaten

[Verse 4]
[G]much today
[Em]At least the room [F]stopped spin[Dm]ning
[G]Any[Em]way, [C]what?
[Am]Nothing Your smile

[Verse 5]
[Am]

I always remind people of
Who is she?
She [F]died[Dm]
Her name was [G]April
It's out [Am]again

[Verse 10]
[A]They say that I have the best as[D]s

You're staring again
Oh [D]no, I mean you do have [G]a nice
[Am]I mean,

[Verse 11]
[C]you loo[Am]k familiar
Like your dead girlfriend
Only when you smile
But I'm sure I've seen
you somewhere [F]else
Do you [Dm]go to the Cat

[F][G]

[Verse 14]
[C]
[Am]Why don't you forget that stuff?
You look like you're sixteen
I'm nineteen, but I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bad

[Verse 15]
I once was [Am]born to be bad
[F]I used to [Dm]shiver like tha[G]t

[Verse 16]
I used [F]to sweat
[Dm]I got a co[G]ld
Uh huh, I used to be a junkie
[F]But now and the[Dm]n I like to
Uh [G]huh
Feel [Em]good

[Verse 17]
[F]Oh here it
[Dm]What's that?
It's a [G]candy bar wrapper

Oh [Em]what'd you do with my
[F]candle?
[Em][G]

[Verse 19]
[C][Am]
That was my last match
Our eyes'll adjust

[Verse 20]
Thank God for the moon
[Am]Maybe it's not the moon at all
I hear Spike Lee's shooting
down the street

[Verse 21]
Bah [Am]humbug, bah humbug

[Verse 22]
[F]Cold han[Dm]ds[G]
[Em]Yours [F]too
[Dm]Big, [G]like my [Em]father's[F]
Do you wanna [Dm]dance?[G]
With [Em]you?
