F
And our town was very small,
G
D
so news like this was grim
F
As mean as he could be,

find when he came back

function in the school

the chill ran through the room

the door, it slowly opened
Mr.
F
Warren wheeled in his son and
G
Bm
D
not a word was spoken
F
And the first thing I remember was
G
Bm
G
D
not being able to find him
F
My eyes, they had no reference,
G
Bm
G
D
I had to take a second look
F
And the next thing I remember,
G
D
before the fear set in
F
G
We're two of the most gentle eyes and a light
D
Em
F
G
D
F
surrounding them
G
D
Yes, it was still
F
G
D
Lewis, but one we didn't know
F
Round his burnt and twisted body
G

There was a soft and gentle glow
G

Or rebirth from death
F
When the things go that define you
G
D
What is it that is left?
F
And slowly he recovered at
G
D
least then from the pain
F
And we became friends that summer
G
D
and we talked about the rain
F
I'd drive him in my car and
G

we'd sit in parking lots
F
He'd show me his skin grafts and talk about
G
Em
D
F
G
D
the nurse he thought was hot
F
So let us not forget to
G
D
treat each other well
F
So nemesis won't come and
G
D
ring your rusty bell
And in the case of
Lewis
F
G
D
Warren, his days still turn to night
But he wouldn't be half
G
Without the fire that saved his
D
F
G
Em
D
F
G
life
