[C]time, is like a burning candle[Em] flaming with light
[Am]drippings of the past [G]surround our future
[C]life, leaving only re[Em]sidue behind
[Am]the flame, the heart, the wick, the brain
the [G]wax that covers it all
[F]protectin[G]g all the [Em]vital organs of [Am]time to come
[F]as time [G]melts away,
[Em]as so does n[Am]ature's course
F G C (High F\E\F\E\D thing, Make it up dude!)
a force, even a burning flame cannot escape
(Chorus)
[C]life is like a burning candle
[Em]just waiting to
[F]melt away[G]
And [C]time, candle like man's [Em]birth
created for [Am]life on earth
every memory takes [G]form as does melted [C]wax
some memories they [Em]hang
the others,[Am] they only fall[G]
the [F]flame, the [G]heart, the [Em]wick, the brain
the [Am]wax, protected [F]all
now [G]nothing is [C]left, but the [Am]organs of our [F]lives
G Am G C (High F\E\D thing, Make it up dude!)
a force, even a burning Flame cannot escape!
(Chorus)
[C]life is like a burning candle
[Em]just waiting to
[F]melt away[G]
[C]Yeeeeah...life is like a burning fucking candle
[Em]just waiting to
[F]melt away
[G]melt away
[Am]melt away
[G]melt away
(breakdown Chorus)
[C]life is like a burning candle
[Em]just waiting to
[F]melt away[G]
Aww yeah... [C]life is like a fucking candle
[Em]just waiting to

[Am]drippings of the past [G]surround our future
[C]life, leaving only re[Em]sidue behind
