C
Modern day Romeo and Juliet
F
American tragedy
C
Low rent high rise lovers who met
G
At the end of Coronado Street
C
Crucifix made in the California gold
F
Two worlds bound to collide
C                      F
Heaven can't help you if you go
G                  C
Faster than angels fly.

Chorus:
          F
Well they burned the candle at both ends
         C
As they danced into the flames
F
Making love and making plans
        C           G
Driving Mother Mary insane
Am                        F
Strong as the beads of a rosary
Am                 F
Never too young to die
Am                 F
Some souls only know one speed
G                  C
Faster than angels fly


C
Ghost haunted barrio in Hollywood
F
Graffiti stained Wailing Wall
C
Dead end street gang up to no good
G
Out to make a retribution call
C
Sweet innocence caught in crossfires fate
F
Too late to draw the line
C                     F
Bullets can blow your dreams away
G                  C
Faster than angels fly

Chorus:
          F
Well they burned the candle at both ends
         C
As they danced into the flames
F
Making love and making plans
        C           G
Driving Mother Mary insane
Am                        F
Strong as the beads of a rosary
Am                 F
Never too young to die
Am                 F
Some souls only know one speed
G                  C
Faster than angels fly
