Candle In The Wind Chords & Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

[INTRO]
C x4

[VERSE 1]
[C]Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never k[F]new you at all
You had the grace to ho[C]ld yourself
While those around you cra[F]wled
They crawled out of the wood[C]work
And they whispered i[F]nto your brain
They set you on the tread[C]mill
And they made you change your n[F]ame

[CHORUS]
And it se[G]ems to me you lived your life
Like a can[C]dle in the wi[F]nd
Never kno[C]wing who to cling to
When the ra[G]in set in
And [F]I would've liked to have known you
But I was j[Am]ust a kid
Your candle burned out lo[G]ng before
Yo[F]ur legend ever did [C]

[INTERLUDE]
C x6

[VERSE 2]
[C]Loneliness was tough
The toughest role y[F]ou ever played
Hollywood created a supe[C]rstar
And pain was the price you p[F]aid
Even when you d[C]ied (Even when you died)
Oh the press st[F]ill hounded you
All the papers h[C]ad to say
Was that Marilyn was found i[F]n the nude

[CHORUS]
And it se[G]ems to me you lived your life
Like a can[C]dle in the w[F]ind
Never kno[C]wing who to cling to
When the ra[G]in set in
And [F]I would've liked to have known you
But I was j[Am]ust a kid
Your candle burned out lo[G]ng before
Y[F]our legend ever did [C]

[INTERLUDE]
C x6

[VERSE 3]
Go[C]odbye Norma Jeane
Though I never kn[F]ew you at all
You had the grace to h[C]old yourself
While those around you cra[F]wled
Goo[C]dbye Norma Jeane
From the young man in the 22[F]nd row
Who sees you as something m[C]ore than sexual
More than just our Mari[F]lyn Monroe

[CHORUS]
And it se[G]ems to me you lived your life
Like a can[C]dle in the w[F]ind
Never kno[C]wing who to cling to
When the ra[G]in set in
And [F]I would've liked to have known you
But I was j[Am]ust a kid
Your candle burned out lo[G]ng before
Y[F]our legend ever did [C]
Your candle burned out lo[G]ng before
F C*
Your legend ever did
