Damn this is a great song, so here we go with a tab for it
im not really that great at making tab so just use this as a rough guide
however i think its pretty accurate, the chords are at least
Intro:

I live a life that's surreal
Where all that I feel I am learning.
For life has been turned on the lathe,
Reshaped with a flame that's still burning.
And in time, it's all a sweet mystery,
When you shake the tree of temptation.
Yeah, and I, I know the fear and the cost,
Of a paradise lost in frustration.
Chorus:
And the flame still burns
It's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer back then, it lights up again
In my life, In my life yeah
Solo:
(play chorus chords under it)

I, I want my thoughts to be heard
The unspoken words of my wisdom
Today, as the light starts to Flow
Tomorrow who knows who will listen?
But my life has no language in love,
No word from above is appearing.
all the time, and time is a fire that's stoked,
With the reason of hope and believing.
Chorus
And the flame still burns
Yeah, it's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer back then, it lights up again
In my life

Bridge
Keep a rollin', keep that flame still burnin'
Keep a rollin', while the world keeps turnin'
Yeah, keep a rollin'
Yeah, keep a rollin'
Chorus
And the flame still burns
it's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer back then, it lights up again
And the flame still burns
Yeah, it's there in my soul for that unfinished goal
And the flame still burns
From a glimmer back then, it lights up again
In my life, In my life.
Outro
A B repeat
Yeah...still burns still burns etc
Solo over B minor Pentatonic & B minor Scales i think
end on A
_______________________________________________________
another great track from still crazy though not really worth its own tab
the cool guitar break when kid comes over hill with ghetto-blaster and sheep
tequila mockingbird "track 1"
the soundtack hasnt got this on it, but a variation of this is on brians theme
play it with overdrive reverb and maybe a bit of chorus
