intro : C/G

C/G F
downtown tonight , i saw an old friend , someone who
G7 C/G
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/G
with a word or a touch , i could’ve rekindled that fire

C/G F
but old flames can’t hold a candle to you
G C/G
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/G
but old flames can’t hold a candle to you

C/G F
sometimes at night , i think of the lovers i’ve known
G7 C/G
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/G
like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn

C/G F
but old flames can’t hold a candle to you
G C/G
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/G
but old flames can’t hold a candle to you
G C/G
old flames can’t hold a candle to you

C
oh . . .
