Intro: Em D G
C G
And now the flame is out, but the light burns on
Em C D
No one ever said he was bigger than his songs
G C G
So few ever knew the heart inside the man
Bm C Am Dsus4 D
But he gave himself away, as only poets can
G C G

Em C D

G C G
He said one day he'd quit and then he would come home
Bm C Am Dsus4 D
But there was always one more stage, always one more road
Chorus:
