Verse: 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 They crawled out of the woodwork G And they whispered into your brain D They set you on the treadmill G And they made you change your name Chorus: A And it seems to me you lived your life D A Like a candle in the wind D Never knowing who to cling to A When the rain set in G And I would have liked to have known you Bm But I was just a kid A Your candle burned out long before G D G Your legend ever did Verse: D Loneliness was tough G The toughest role you ever played D Hollywood created a superstar G And pain was the price you paid D Even when you died G Oh the press still hounded you D All the papers had to say G Was that Marilyn was found in the nude Chorus: A And it seems to me you lived your life D A Like a candle in the wind D Never knowing who to cling to A When the rain set in G And I would have liked to have known you Bm But I was just a kid A Your candle burned out long before G D G D G Your legend ever did Verse: 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 young man in the 22nd row D Who sees you as something more than s*xual G More than just our Marilyn Monroe Chorus: A And it seems to me you lived your life D A Like a candle in the wind D Never knowing who to cling to A When the rain set in G And I would have liked to have known you Bm But I was just a kid A Your candle burned out long before G D Your legend ever did G D Your legend ever did
