[Verse 1]
AE
When I turned 16 I was furious and restless
DAE
Got a Chelsea girl haircut and a plane ticket to Paris
AE
I stayed there with Pansy, he had a studio in the seventh
DAE
Lost his lover to a sickness, I slept beside him in his bed
AE
That's when I met Nancy, she was smoking on a gypsy
DAE
She had a ring in her nose and her eyes were changing like moodstones
F#mBmC#mBm
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]
AE
Nancy came from Boston, she got in trouble very often
DAE
Cause her parents had forgotten her, she escaped over the pond
AE
She was searching for the writer of a song that made her shiver
DAE
She listened over and over on her Walkman cassette
F#mBmC#mBm
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."

[Verse 3]
AE
How could I resist her, I had longed for a big sister
DAE
And I wanted to kiss her, but I hadn't the nerve
AE
We found the writer, he was just some kid from Boston
DAE
I was jealous as I watched him talking to her
AE
But man was I astonished, he didn't look like no Adonis
DAE
But as Nancy had promised, he was heavy as lead
F#mBmC#mBm
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]
AE
Give me my candor, but I just had to have her
DAE
And at the time I didn't mind sharing with him
AE
We rode in silence, all the way back to the seventh
DAE
And I promised I'd write her but I never did
F#mBmC#mBm
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."
