[Verse 1]
A E
When I turned 16 I was furious and restless
D A E
Got a Chelsea girl haircut and a plane ticket to Paris
A E
I stayed there with Pansy, he had a studio in the seventh
D A E
Lost his lover to a sickness, I slept beside him in his bed
A E
That's when I met Nancy, she was smoking on a gypsy
D A E
She had a ring in her nose and her eyes were changing like moodstones
F#m Bm C#m Bm
She said: "Open up late bloomer, it will make you smile"
F#m Bm C#m Bm (Fill 1)
"I can see that fire burning, in you little child."
[Verse 2]
A E
Nancy came from Boston, she got in trouble very often
D A E
Cause her parents had forgotten her, she escaped over the pond
A E
She was searching for the writer of a song that made her shiver
D A E
She listened over and over on her Walkman cassette
F#m Bm C#m Bm
And she said: "Come with me late bloomer, for a little while"
F#m Bm C#m Bm (Fill 1)
"I wanna see that fire burning, in you little child."
Bm E
Ahaaa aha, oh ohohoho
Bm E
Ahaaa aha, oh ohohoho
Bm E
Ahaaa aha, oh ohohoho
F#m

Bm E
Ahaaa aha, oh ohohoho
Bm E
Ahaaa aha, oh ohohoho
Bm E
Ahaaa aha, oh ohohoho
F#m
woooouuuu
[Verse 3]
A E
How could I resist her, I had longed for a big sister
D A E
And I wanted to kiss her, but I hadn't the nerve
A E
We found the writer, he was just some kid from Boston
D A E
I was jealous as I watched him talking to her
A E
But man was I astonished, he didn't look like no Adonis
D A E
But as Nancy had promised, he was heavy as lead
F#m Bm C#m Bm
And he said: "Come with us late bloomer, for a little while"
F#m Bm C#m Bm (Fill 1)
"We wanna feel that fire burning, in you little child."
[Verse 4]
A E
Give me my candor, but I just had to have her
D A E
And at the time I didn't mind sharing with him
A E
We rode in silence, all the way back to the seventh
D A E
And I promised I'd write her but I never did
F#m Bm C#m Bm
And she said: "Au revoir, late bloomer, for a little while"
F#m Bm C#m Bm (Fill 1)
"You gotta keep the fire burning, in you little child."
Bm E
Ahaaa aha, oh ohohoho
Bm E
Ahaaa aha, oh ohohoho
Bm E
Ahaaa aha, oh ohohoho
F#m
