C# F#
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend someone who
G#7 C#
I used to take comfort from, long before I met you
C#7 F#
I caught a spark from his eyes a forgotten desire
G#7 C#
With a word or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire
[Chorus]
C# F#
But old flames, can't hold a candle to you
G#7 C#
no one can light up the night like you do
C#7 F#
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
G#7 C#
But old flames, can't hold a candle to you
[Verse 2]
D G
Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known
A7 D
I remember how holding them, helped me not feel so alone
D7 G
Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone
A7 D
Like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn
[Chorus]
D G
But old flames, can't hold a candle to you
A7 D
no one can light up the night like you do
D7 G
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
A7 D
But old flames, can't hold a candle to you
