The Lemon Twigs – The Fire (Guitar)

C                         Am
One day in spring, it was gym class

             F
That was the only class Shane passed

Em     G           Am
He was scaling the rope

Em        G             Am
Some cool kid cracked a joke

Em             G                         Am
Oh man, he was mad, it was like his ears smoked

          F                       C
And I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him

              F      Em       Dm
And you could really feel his pain

                                 F
All of a sudden there were these flames

               C
A fire started in the school

            F       C     Dm
That took a hundred lives away

C                            Am
Life is real tough when your parents

      F
Don't want you

C                           Am
Life can be tough when your girlfriend

     F
Don't want you

Em        G        Am
Daisy was his last hope

Em              G           Am
But she thought Shane a big joke

Em              G             Am
"Well we'll see who's the big joke when

Em          G          Am
That school goes up in smoke!"

          F                       C
And I saw Shane, and everyone was pushing him

              F      Em       Dm
And you could really feel his pain

                                F
You started to see these, like, flames

               C
A fire started in the school

            F       C     Dm
That took a hundred lives away

Bm                     F
   And oh whoa when he struck the match

                C
To make the big payback he said

G
"Shananananananana"

             F
He thought, "We're all so wrong"

       C
And he cried alone and he went

G
"Shananananananana"

        F
And the girl and the kids

             C
And all that his parents did, he said

G
"Shananananananana"

                 F
Ooh he thought, "We're all so wrong"

                   C
And with this he'd finally have won and baby now

G
"Shananananananana" Oh no no

       F                   C
But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane

G
"Shananananananana"

F                C
Poor poor Shane, poor poor Shane

G
"Shananananananana"

       F                   C
But it increased the pain, poor poor Shane

G
"Shananananananana"

       F                 C      G
And he ran and he and he ran

       F          C
And he ran and he ran

       G
And he ran

   F                     C
He increased their pain

G
"Shananananananana"

F                               C
  And the kids and all that his family did

        G
Just to increase the pain

                F
And then he ran away

C                         Am      F
Life is can be tough when you're

C                           Am     F
Life, life is so tough when no one wants you

C                                  Am            C
Life is real tough when just about no one at all wants you
