Verse 1:
C                                          F
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
G                                             C
I used to take comfort from long before I met you
C                                    C/E      F
I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
       G                                           C
With a word, or a touch, I could've rekindled that fire


Chorus:
    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
Flickering embers of love
C              F
I've known one or two
    G                                 C    C/Bb F/A
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Fm/Ab   C C/Bb F/A Fm/Ab
Oh, yeah, ooh


Verse 2:
C                                              F
Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known
        G                                              C
And I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone (feel so alone)
       C                                               F
Then I feel you beside me, and even their memories are gone
     G                                              C
Like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn


Chorus:
    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
Flickering embers of love
C              F
I've known one or two
    G                                 C
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
    G                                 C    C/Bb F/A
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Fm/Ab   C C/Bb F/A Fm/Ab
Oh, yeah
