E              F#m
I know a girl, got my mind in a mess

E                         A             F#m
I never heard her say goodnight and God bless

She's not the only flame in town
[Verse 2]

And when we're alone we never quarrel

I'm miles away, now here's the moral

She's not the only flame in town

She's not the only flame in town

D             E
She's got to stop thinking that I'm

A        G#m   F#m  B
Carrying this torch around
[Verse 3]
E                     F#m
He struck a match and lit up her face

E
We should have struck a match girl

A                F#m
To burn down the whole place

B                       E            F#m  B
Now you're not the only flame in town
[Verse 4]
E
But you blew hot and cold

F#m
Turn my heart to a cinder

E
And with each passing day

A                    F#m
You'd be less tender and more tinder

B                       E            F#m  E
Now you're not the only flame in the town

Carrying this torch around

[Verse 5]
E                              F#m
Thought I saw your face in the fire

                   E
But its so hard to remember

        A                F#m
Even an inferno can cool down to an ember

B                    G#m
Now you're not the only flame

You're not the only flame
