🎸 Verse :
G+G C majorC
Downtown tonight
I met an old friend, someone who
D7D7 G+G
I used to take comfort from, long before I met you
G7G7 C majorC
I caught a spark from her eye, a forgotten desire
D7D7 G+G
With a touch or a kiss
I could have rekindled that fire
🎸 Chorus:
G+G C majorC
But old flames, can't hold a candle to you
D7D7 G+G
no-one can light up my nights like you do
G7G7 C majorC
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
D7D7 G+G
But old flames can't hold a candle to you

🎸 Verse :
G+G C majorC
Sometimes at night I think of those lovers I've known
D7D7 G+G
And remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
G7G7 C majorC
Then I feel you beside me and even their memory is gone
D MajorD G+G
Like the stars in the night disappear in the sweet light of dawn
🎸 Chorus:
G+G C majorC
But old flames, can't hold a candle to you
D7D7 G+G
no-one can light up my nights like you do
G7G7 C majorC
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
D7D7 G+G
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
