[Verse 1]
F        Bb                  Eb
 From my tape deck there's a recklessness
                   F6       F
Inflections of the world we want
Bb                 Eb
All my friends, my rusty truck
                             F6     F
We're just specks of love, directionless
Bb                  Eb
Call this band just what we want
                            F6       F
We can change the name from month to month
Bb               Eb
Four guitars and zero drums
                       F6     E6        Eb6 Eb Eb6
We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk

[Pre-Chorus]
Eb F6 F F6     F          Eb6 Eb Eb6
          In a world post punk

[Verse 2]

F     Bb               Eb
 Well my friend had an old guitar
                        F6           F
He took some lessons didn't get very far
Bb             Eb
An Ibanez with one knob stuck
Said,
                             F6    F
"You can have that thing for fifty bucks"
Bb                      Eb
Laura got a bass but it got no amp
                         F6          F
We borrowed skills but never gave it back
      Bb                    Eb
Well, Luke is just learning how to strum
But since he was the worst
            F6  E6         Eb
We made him play  the drums

[Pre-Chorus]
         F6   F F6
Play the drums
F            Eb
 You may find

[Chorus]
       Eb
In the palm
        F6  F
Of your hand
          Eb6  Eb
There's a flame
           Eb
As it burns
      Eb
As it climbs
      F6   F
As it turns
     Eb6  Eb
To a blaze
               Eb
Well this flame
         Eb
It won't last
        F6   F
Here it comes
     Eb6     Eb
Hold it close
                Eb
Cause this blaze
       Eb
Can be fast
       F6      F         Eb6 Eb
Set it free now there it goes

         Well,
Bb                   Eb
Luke's mom said that after school
                     F6         F
We could rehearse in the living room
    Bb               Eb
But that sure didn't last too long
                                F6     F
Guess she didn't know we'd play Fugazi songs
Bb                       Eb
We played these songs in the talent show
                              F6          F
And all of the girls would be in the front row
    Bb                Eb
But in the end we just  chickened out
Because we can't sing
       F6  E6 Eb
We can only   shout

[Pre-Chorus]
     F
Only shhh
            Eb
You may find

[Chorus]
       Eb
In the palm
        F6  F
Of your hand
          Eb6  Eb
There's a flame
           Eb
As it burns
      Eb
As it climbs
      F6   F
As it turns
     Eb6  Eb
To a blaze
               Eb
Well this flame
         Eb
It won't last
        F6   F
Here it comes
     Eb6     Eb
Hold it close
                Eb
Cause this blaze
       Eb
Can be fast
       F6      F         Eb6 Eb
Set it free now there it goes
