C                                               F
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who 
G7                                            C
I used to take comfort from long before I met you 
C                    C7                F
I saw a spark in his eyes of forgotten desire 
       G7                                         C
With a word or a touch, I could've rekindled that fire 


C                                       F
But old flames can't hold a candle to you 
G                                      C
No one can light up the night like you do 
C                               C7           F
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
G                                     C
But old flames can't hold a candle to you 


C                                                  F
Sometimes at night, I think of the lovers I've known 
G7                                           C
Remember 'em holding me helps me not feel so alone 
C                             C7                      F
Then I feel you beside me, and even their memories are gone 
     G7                                            C
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn 


C                                         F
But old flames can't hold a candle to you 
G                                      C
No one can light up the night like you do 
C                               C7           F
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
G                                     C
But old flames can't hold a candle to you 
G                                 C
Old flames can't hold a candle to you 

C
Oh...
