🎄 Bridge:

But here’s a warning:
Amaj7Amaj7              G#m7G#m7       C#C#
When you give a candle, that is all that you need
   Amaj7Amaj7             G#m7G#m7    C#C#
Don’t pair it with a lotion or some lame little cream
 Amaj7Amaj7               G# minorG#m     C#C#
A augmentedA lot of people think two gifts are better than one
  Dmaj7Dmaj7             G#G#
But that just makes each gift seem smaller and dumb

🎄 Chorus:
  D#D#
So just give the candle
   G#G#      A#A#
Don't overthink the candle
   D#D#              G#G#    A#A#
It’s passed to every single woman and most gays
  C minorCm
We all get the candle
  C minorCm
We all give the candle
  C minorCm
That nine-dollar candle
   G# minorG#m
That almost rude candle
   D#D#      A#A#
We're joined by the candle
                    D#D#
It's the gift of having a gift to give away
  F minorFm            A#sus4A#sus4  D#D#
The gift of having a gift to give away

🎄 Outro:
