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
