A 
D 
Goodbye Norma Jean,
G 
though I never knew you at all
D 
You had the grace to hold yourself,
G 
and those around you cried
D 
They crawled out the woodwork,
G 
and they whispered into your brain
D 
They set you on a treadmill
G 
And they made you change your name
A 
And it seems to me
You live your life
D 
G 
Like a candle in the wind
D 
Never knowing you to cling to
A 
When the rain set in
G 
And I would have liked to know you
Bm 
But I was just a creep
A 
You can't go burn down the one before
G 
D 
A 
G 
D 
A 
The that you never did
D 
Loneliness was tough
G 
The toughest role you ever played
D 
Like creating a su perstar
G 
D 
G 
The pain is the price you pay
D 
Even when you die
G 
All the press still hounded you
D 
All the papers had to say
G 
Was that Marilyn was found in me
A 
And it seems to me
You live your life
D 
like a candle in the rain
G 
D 
Never knowing who to cling to
A 
when the rain is setting
G 
And I would have liked to know you,
Bm 
but I was just a kid
A 
The candle burned out long before you
G 
D 
A 
G 
D 
A 
literally ever did
D 
Goodbye Norma Jean,
G 
though I never knew you at all
D 
You had the grace to hold yourself
G 
while those around you crawled
D 
Goodbye Norma Jean,
G 
from the man in the 22nd wall
D 
Who sees you as something more
G 
than just a woman, just a man
A 
And it seems to me
you live your life
D 
like a candle in the wind
G 
D 
Never know who to cling to
A 
when the rain sets in
G 
And I would have liked to love you
Bm 
but I was jealous of  you
A 
You can't but burn that love
G 
D 
before the legend ever did
A 
You can't but burn that love
G 
before the legend ever did
