Candlelight by Relient K
Candlelight
Capo 3rd
Intro: G, C
Verse 1:
G
To know her is to love her, i'm goin undercover
C G
To catch a glimpse but not get caught
G C
But to see her could be worse, if I don't get my head straight first
G
On second thought I guess i'm not
Pre Chorus:
A C
She's almost brighter than the sun
G A
Seems to me to be unfair, when you consider everyone
C G
Who pales when they compare, when they compare
Chorus:
G C
Can't hold a candle to her, cause all the moths get in the way
G
Then they'll begin to chew her entire attire until it frays
A C G
For she outshines anyone whoever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Verse 2:
G C
Oh please don't seat us in the back with all the insects and the trash
G
She is a lady i'm the tramp
G
Collecting stares from pairs close by
C
Then flutters in the butterfly
G
You, just a moth drawn to the lamp
Pre Chorus:
A C G
She's like an ancient artifact, something your lucky to have found
A
She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks
C
When she turns those heads around
G
Those heads around
Chorus:
G C
Can't hold a candle to her, cause all the moths get in the way
G
Then they'll begin to chew her entire attire until it frays
A C G
For she outshines anyone whoever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
A C G
Who may dare to bask in the same candlelight
Intro again: G, C
Chorus:
G C
Can't hold a candle to her, cause all the moths get in the way
G
Then they'll begin to chew her entire attire until it frays
A C G
For she outshines anyone whoever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
A C G
In the same candlelight

* = The intro chords are also the chords that are played between chorus/verse/
wherever you like. :P
Other notes:
- I personally like to play this song with a Capo on the 3rd fret with all the:
- Bb to G
- Eb to C
- C to A
Just a preference.
- At the end of the actual song, it goes "C, Eb, C, Eb" and then some other chord
before resolving at Bb.

To know her is to love her
I'm going undercover
To catch a glimpse
But not get caught
But to see her
Could be worse
If I don't get my head straight first
On second thought I guess I'll not
She's almost brighter than the Sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
She outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Oh please don't seat us in the back
With all the insects and the trash
She is a lady, I'm the tramp
Collecting stares from pairs close by
Then flutters and the butterflies
Ew! just a moth drawn to the lamp
She's like an ancient artifact
Something you're lucky to have found
She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks
When she turns those heads around
Those heads around
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
She outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
She's almost brighter than the Sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
For he outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
In the same candlelight
A solar flare shines through her hair,
It's so unfair when you compare
The one who's fairest of the fair.
A solar flare shines through her hair,
It's so unfair when you compare
The one who's fairest of the fair.
