A D A
I live a life that's surreal
D A E
Where all that I feel I am learning.
A D A
For life has been turned on the lathe,
D A E
Reshaped with a flame that's still burning.
F#m E A
And in time, it's all a sweet mystery,
D A E
When you shake the tree of temptation.
F#m E A
Yeah, and I, I know the fear and the cost,
D A E
Of a paradise lost in frustration.
Chorus:
A E
And the flame still burns
Bm A E
It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
A E
And the flame still burns
Bm A E
From a glimmer back then, it lights up again
A
In my life, In my life yeah

A D A
I, I want my thoughts to be heard
D A E
The unspoken words of my wisdom
A D A
Today, as the light starts to Flow
D A E
Tomorrow who knows who will listen?
F#m E A
But my life has no language in love,
D A E
No word from above is appearing.
F#m E A
all the time, and time is a fire that's stoked,
D A E
With the reason of hope and believing.

_______________________________________________________
another great track from still crazy though not really worth its own tab
the cool guitar break when kid comes over hill with ghetto-blaster and sheep
tequila mockingbird "track 1"
the soundtack hasnt got this on it, but a variation of this is on brians theme
play it with overdrive reverb and maybe a bit of chorus
