Intro (w/Fig. 1) ===== Part 1 (w/Fig. 1) ====== Em A Em Read some Kerouac and it put me on the tracks to burn a little brighter now Em A G A Something about roman candles fizzing out, shine a little light on me now Em A Em Found a strange fascination with a liquid fixation, alcohol can thrill me now Em A It's getting late in the game to show any pride or shame G A I just burn a little brighter now, Em A Em burn a little brighter now Em A G Doctor says my liver looks like living with my lover, need another time-out now Em A Em Like any sort of hero... turning down to zero still standing out in any crowd Em A G A Pulling seventeen with experience and dreams, sweating out a happy hour Em A Em Where you're hiding 29 you know it ain't a crime to burn a little brighter now Em A G A Em A Em burn a little brighter now burn a little brighter now Em A G A Em burn a little brighter now we burn a little brighter now Interlude ========= Dr. Finlay: "And my advice is if you maintain this lifestyle you won't reach 30" Torch: "Christ - it's a romantic way to go really, it's part of the heritage It's your round i'n'it?" Gtr. 2 plays this is the background. I have placed lyrics above to indicate when.

    ..reach 30..        ..christ..      ..romantic way to go..
