Pete Rasche posted this song already, but I found many mistakes in key

parts of the song, so I decided to correct them and add a few

things(including the solo).

This main riff is played by one guitar during the verse. The other guitar

plays E and A.

Verse 1:

It's four A.M., I'm drunk and alone

Tryin' to call you on a public phone

I wanted passion, I wanted desire

My heart is a flame that pains me if I do not

Light it on Fire

If I do not light it on fire

If I do not light it on fire

A (n.c.)

If I do not light it on fire

VERSE 2:

I'm the perfect picture of a perfect fool

You're out doin' what I wanted ya' to

I'm in heartbreak hotel and there's a desk clerk for hire

My heart is a flame that pains me if I do not

How can I tell you

Just how it feels

How can you make love stay and

How do you know if what's stayin' is real

Solo(guitar II plays main riff)

VERSE 3

I was the one full of whiskey and talk

I was the one with the skip in my walk

You say the truth hurts, well so does a liar

My heart's a flame that pains.....

(repeated with A E chords into MAIN RIFF close)

That's about it. The solo might take a little practice to get right. Laterz!
