[B] [E] [F#m] [E] [B] [G#]
[E] Goodbye Norma Deane, though I never [A] knew you at all
You had the grace [E] to hold still, but those around you [A] crawled
They crawled out of [E] the woodwork, and they [A] whispered into your brain
They set you on the [E] treadmill, and they made you change your [A] name
And [B] it seems to me, you lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to blame, when the [B] rain set in
And I [A] would have liked to know you, but I was [C#m] just a kid
You can't go burned out, [B] as long before [A] the legend ever did
[E]
[B] [E] [F#m] [E]
[B] Loneliness [E] is tough, tough to [A] throw
You're ever played Hollywood creative [E] superstar
And pain was the price [A] you paid
Even [E] when you died, oh the [A] press still hounded you
All the papers [E] had to say, was that Marilyn was [A] found in the news
And [B] it seems to me, you lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to blame, when [B] the rain set in
And [A] I would have liked to know you, but I was [C#m] just a kid
You can't go burned [B] out, as long before [A] the legend ever [F#m] did
[E] [B] [A] [F#m]
[E] [B] [E] Goodbye Norma Deane, though I [A] never knew you at all
You had the grace [E] to hold yourself, while those around you [A] clawed
[E] Goodbye Norma Deane, a young man [A] in the 22nd row
Received you with some [E] cold and sexless, more than just sour [A] Marilyn Monroe
And [B] it seems to me, you lived your life [E] like a candle in the [A] wind
[E] Never knowing who to blame, when [B] the rain set in
And [A] I would have liked to know you, but I was [C#m] just a kid
You can't go burned [B] out, as long before [A] the legend ever did
[F#m] You [E] can't go burned [B] out, as long before [A] the legend ever did
[F#m] [E]
