[Em] [E]
[A]
[E]
[A] [D]
[E] Downtown tonight I saw an old friend, [A] someone who
I
[B] used to take comfort from long before I [E] met you
I caught a spark from her eyes, a forgotten [A] desire
[B] With a word or a touch, Lord, I could have rekindled [E] that fire
[Em] But [E] old flames can't hold a candle [A] to you
[B] No one can light up the night like [E] you do
[Dbm]
A girl ain't in the sub-love I've known [A] one or two
But
[B] old flames can't hold a candle [E] to you
[A] [C]
[F]
[Dm]
[F] Sometimes at night I think of old lovers [Bb] I've known
And [C] I remember how holding them helped me not feel [F] so alone
[Bb] [F] Then I feel you beside me and even that memories are gone
[C] Like stars in the night lost in the sweet [F] light of dawn
But old flames can't hold [A] a candle [Bb] to you
[C] No one can light up the night like [F] you do
[C] A girl ain't in the sub-love I've [G] known [Bb] one or two
[C] But old flames can't hold a candle [F] to you
[D]
[C] Old flames can't hold a candle [F] to you
