[Cm]
What'd you forget?
Got a light
I know you, [Eb] you're, [Ab]
you're shivering
It's nothing, [Bb] they turned off my [Ab] heat
And I'm just a [Bb] little weak on my feet
[Gm] Would you light [Ab] my candle?
[Gm] [Bb] What are you staring [Eb] at?
[Cm] Nothing, your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar, [Bb] can you make [Ab] it?
Just [Bb] haven't eaten [Gm] much today
At [Ab] least the [Fm] room stopped spinning [Bb] anyway [Cm] What?
Nothing, your smile reminded me
I always remind people of who is [Ab] she
She died, her [Bb] name was April
It's out [Ab] again, [Bb] sorry about your friend
[Gm] Would you light [Ab] my candle?
[Gm] [Bb]
Well?
Yeah?
Oh the wax, it's dripping
I like it between my fingers
I figured, oh well, [Eb] goodnight
[Db]
[Cm]
It blew out again
No, I think that I dropped my stash
I know I've seen you out and about
When I used to go out
Your candle's [Ab] out
I'm to [Bb] learn I [Gm] had it when I walked in [Ab] the door
It was pure, [Bb] [Gm] is it on the [C] floor?
Floor?
They say that I have the [Dm] best ass
Below [F] 14th Street
[C] Is it true?
What?
You're staring again
[Dm] Oh no, [F] I mean you do
Have a nice, [Cm] I mean, you look familiar
[Cm] Like your dead girlfriend
Only when you smile
But I'm sure I've seen you [Ab] somewhere else
Do you go [Bb] to the Cat Scratch Club?
[Ab] That's where I work, [Bb] I dance
[Ab] Yes, [Fm] they used to tie [Bb] you [Ab] up
It's a living
I didn't [Bb] recognize you without [Gm] the handcuffs
We could [Ab] light the candle
[Gm] [Bb]
[Gm] Won't you light [Ab] the candle?
[Bb]
[Eb] [Cm] Why don't you forget that stuff?
You look like you're 16 I'm 19
But I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bad
I once was born to be [Ab] bad
I used to shiver [Bb] like [Gm] that
I have no heat, I [Ab] told you
I [Bb] got a cold
I used [Ab] to be a junkie
And then [Bb] I liked to [Gm]
feel [Ab] good Oh, here What's that?
[Bb] A candy bar wrapper
[Gm] We could [Ab] light the [Gm] candle
[Bb]
[Gm] Oh, what you do [Ab] with my candle?
[Gm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm] That was my last match
Now Reza'll just thank God for the moon
Baby, it's not the moon at all
I hear spike leaves shooting down the street
Bah humbug, bah [Ab] humbug Cold [Bb] hands Yours [Ab] too There
[Bb] Like my [Ab] father's
Do you wanna [Bb] dance?
With [Ab] you?
No
[Bb] With my father I'm [Eb] Roger
[Cm]
They call me
They call me
Mimi
