D G Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all D G You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled D They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered G into your brain D G They sent you on a treadmill and they made you change your name Chorus: A A7 And it seems to me you lived your life D G Like a candle in the wind D A Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in G Bm And I would have liked toʼve known you but I was just a kid A G D Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did D G Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played D G Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid D G And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you D G All the papers had to say was that Marilyn was found in the nude D G Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all D G You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled D G Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row D Who sees you as something more than sexual, more G than just our Marilyn Monroe
