[C#] Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, [F#] someone who
[G#] I used to take comfort from long before I [C#] met you
I caught a spark from his eyes, a forgotten [F#] desire
With [G#] a word or touch, I could have rekindled that [C#] fire
Old flames can't hold a candle [F#] to you
[G#] No one can light up the night like [C#] you do
Slickering embers of love, I've found [F#] too
[G#] But old flames can't hold a candle [C#] to you
[F#] [F#m]
[D] [Dm]
[G] [Gm]
[D] Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers [G] I've known
I [A] remember how holding them helped me not feel [D] so alone
Then I feel you beside me, and even then, memories [G] are gone
Like
[A] stars in the night, lost in the sweet light [D] of dawn
Old flames can't hold a candle [G] to you
[A] No one can light up the night [D] like you do
Slickering embers of love, I've found [G] one or two
[A] But old flames can't hold a candle [D] to you
[A] Old flames can't hold a candle [D] to you
