This transcription is based on the live version of the Ryko reissue of "Goodbye Cruel World", but it works well witht the studio version too, except in someplace they use the ending chords in the middle and there are some walk ups - enjoy. Intro E *verse 1*
EI know a girl, F#mgot my mind in a mess G#mI never heard her say Agoodnight and G#mGod bF#mless
She's Bnot the only flame in townE E F#m G#m
*verse 2 - same except were noted* And when we're alone we never quarrel I'm miles away, now here's the moral

AShe's nBot the only fG#mlame in town C#m DShe's got to stop thinking that I'm
ACarrying this torch aroundE *verse 3 - same as verse 1* He struck a match and lit up her face We should have struck a match girl To burn down the whole place Now you're not the only flame in town
*verse 4 - same as verse 2* But you blew hot and cold Turnmy heart to a cinder And with each passing day You'd be less tender and more tinder Now you're not the only flame in the town *chorus - same* She's not the only flame in town She's got to stop thinking that I'm Carrying this torch around *verse 5 -same as verse 1 except where noted* Thought I saw your face in the fire But its so hard to remember Even an inferno can cool down to an ember Now you're not the only flame
E F#m G#m You're not the only Eflame F#m G#m G#mYou're not the only Eflame inF#m town G#m
