C           Am
What'd you forget?
MIMI
C       Am
Got a light?
ROGER
C       Am             C          
I know you - you're - you're shivering
MIMI
F                   G
It's nothing they turned off my heat

F                   G
And I'm just a little weak on my feet

G                   F      G
Would you light my candle?
N.C. What are you staring at? ROGER
C    Am       C            Am    C   Am
Nothing, your hair in the moonlight

C         Am       
You look familiar

G       
Can you make it?
MIMI
F            G
Just haven't eaten much today

              F             
At least the room stopped spinning

G
Anyway. What?
ROGER
C    Am        C     Am
Nothing, your smile reminded me of
MIMI
C    Am               C    Am
I always remind people of - who is she?
ROGER
F                      G
She died. Her name was April.
MIMI
G
It's out again

F                G
Sorry about your friend

G                   F        G
Would you light my candle?
ROGER
G
Well
MIMI
G
Yeah. Ow!
ROGER
G
Oh, the wax - it's
MIMI
G
Dripping! I like it - between my
ROGER
G
Fingers, I figured ...

G           C
Oh, well. Goodnight ...
C Am
C     Am
It blew out again?
MIMI
        C            Am
No - I think that I dropped my stash
ROGER
  C          Am       C       Am
I know I've seen you out and about

         C      Am
When I used to go out,

      C     Am
Your candle's out
MIMI
   F              G
I'm illin' - I had it when I walked in the door

F              G 
It was pure - is it on the floor?
ROGER
  A
The floor?
MIMI
A                            D   
They say that I have the best ass

                          A
Below 14th street. Is it true?
ROGER
 A
What?
MIMI
A
You're staring again.
ROGER
D
Oh no, I mean you do - have a nice -  

C          Am
you look familiar
MIMI
C          Am
Like your dead girlfriend?
ROGER
C         Am
Only when you smile.

C         Am
But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else -
MIMI
F                 G
Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club?

       F              G
That's where I work - I dance
ROGER
        F                 G
Yes! They used to tie you up -
MIMI
G
It's a living
ROGER
 F                  G
I didn't recognize you without the handcuffs
MIMI
G                   F     G
We could light the candle

G                      F       G
Oh won't you light the candle?
ROGER
C       Am      C         Am
Why don't you forget that stuff

C              Am       C     
You look like you're sixteen
MIMI
     Am                C     Am
I'm nineteen - but I'm old for my age

      C      Am
I'm just born to be bad
ROGER
  C         Am       C    Am
I once was born to be bad

          F
I used to shiver like that
MIMI
     G
I have no heat - I told you
ROGER
     F
I used to sweat
MIMI
   G
I got a cold
ROGER
G
Uh huh

                   F
I used to be a junkie
MIMI
F                          G
But now and then I like to feel good
ROGER
G
Uh huh
ROGER
F 
Oh, here it - um
MIMI
F
What's that?
ROGER
G
Candy bar wrapper
MIMI
G                   F      G
We could light the candle

G                          F       G
