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...
