Start Jamming...
[D] Downtown tonight, I saw an [G] old friend someone built
[A] I used to take comfort from long before [D] I met you
And I caught a spark in her eyes, a forgotten [Am] [G] desire
And with [A] a word or a touch, I could have rekindled [D] the fire
But old [Gbm] flames [Bm] can't hold [D] a candle [G] to you
[D] [A] And no one can light up my night [D] like you do
Flickering embers of love I've known one or [G] two
But
[A] old flames can't hold a candle [D] to you
[Am]
[B] [Gm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Abm]
[Eb] Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers [Ab] I've known
And [Bb] remember how holding them made me not feel [Eb] so alone
Then I feel you beside me and even the [G] memories [Ab] are gone
And
[Bb] like stars in the night, lost in the sweet [Eb] light of dawn
[Bb] Old flames [Eb] can't hold a candle [Ab] to [Eb] you
[Ab] [Cm] [Bb] And no one can light up my night [Eb] like you do
Flickering embers of love I've known [G] one [Ab] or two
But
[Bb] old flames can't hold a candle [Eb] to you
[Gm] [Cm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm]
[Ab] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Fm] [Ab] [Eb]
Flickering embers of love I've known one [Ab] or two
But [Bb]
old flames can't hold a candle [Eb] to [Db] you
[C]
[Abm] No
