[Verse]

E                                                      A
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
                                         E                                                           A
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
                                       E                                           A
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
                                          E                                                            A
They sent you on a treadmill and they made you change your name

[Chorus]

B                                                      B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
               E                     A
Like a candle in the wind
               E                                                B
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
                     A                                                    C#m
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
                                       B                         A                     A G#m F#m E B A G#m F#m E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did

[Verse]

E                                                  A
Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played
                                          E                                                  A
Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
E                                                    A
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
                                    E                                                         A
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude

[Chorus]

B                                                     B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
                 E                A
Like a candle in the wind
              E                                                B
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
                    A                                                      C#m
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
                                       B                           A                  A G#m F#m E B A G#m F#m E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did

[Verse]

E                                                       A
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
                                   E                                                   A
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
E                                                       A
Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row
                                                               E                                                A
Who sees you as something more than sexual, more than just our Marilyn Monroe

[Chorus]

B                                                     B7
And it seems to me you lived your life
             E                      A
Like a candle in the wind
               E                                               B
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
                             A                                              C#m
And I would have liked to've known you but I was just a kid
                                      B                          A                     A G#m F#m E B A G#m F#m E
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did
