• Difficulty: Advanced

🎄 Intro:

B                  E
Everyone knows the story
                       C#m
Of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ
                B
But this is the story
E                        F#
Of another more powerful Christmas savior



🎄 Verse 1:
    B
The snow's falling down
              E
It’s Christmastime again
                     B
A woman has to get a gift
                 C#m7       F#
For some girl at work named Jen
    B
She doesn't know what Jen likes
                      E
And she doesn't super care
                     B
So she goes inside a closet
        C#m                F#m
Just to see what crap’s in there

🎄 Pre-Chorus:
E                      G#m
In darkness, there's a light
A
Then suddenly she sees the Christmas
F#
savior's here tonight

🎄 Chorus:
C#
It's a candle
  F#          G#
A plain peach candle
          C#                           F#
It's been sitting by a bike pump for a year
G#
(For a year)
    A#m
She takes the candle
              D#7
Dusts off the candle
     F#                                 B       C#
Then wraps it up for Jen and just says, "Here."

E  C#  B

🎄 Verse 2:

Then one day after this
                E
In foggy London town
                      B
Two acquaintances are having tea
         C#m            F#
When one puts a present down
    B
The other says, "Wait, what?
                              E
"I mean
I got you something, too."
                  B
Then she rummages inside her purse
         C#m               F#
For some garbage that will do

🎄 Pre-Chorus:
  E                  G#m
A hand, it settles on
A
Something that she just had gotten
F#
from her boyfriend's mom

🎄 Chorus:
C#
It's the candle
     F#         G#
That same peach candle
   C#                                 F#
Regifted 'round the world in just one day
              G#
(Just one day)
   A#m
Oh thank you, candle
             D#
The one true candle
   F#                            B    C#
The candle we all get, then give away

🎄 Bridge:

But here’s a warning:
Amaj7                           G#m7              C#
When you give a candle, that is all that you need
      Amaj7                         G#m7        C#
Don’t pair it with a lotion or some lame little cream
  Amaj7                             G#m         C#
A lot of people think two gifts are better than one
    Dmaj7                          G#
But that just makes each gift seem smaller and dumb

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

🎄 Outro:
D#
Thank you, candle
