(Verse 1)
[C]Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, some[F]one who
[G]I used to take comfort from long before I met [C]you
[C]I caught a spark from his eyes of for[C/E]gotten de[F]sire
With a [G]word, or a touch, I could've rekindled that [C]fire
(Chorus)
But [C]old flames can't hold a candle to [F]you
[G]No one can light up the night like you [C]do
[C]Flickering embers of love
[C]I've known one [F]or two
But [G]old flames can't hold a candle to [C]you[C/Bb][F/A]
[Fm/Ab]Oh, yeah[C], [C/Bb]ooh[F/A][Fm/Ab]
(Verse 2)
[C]Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've [F]known
And I re[G]member how holding them helped me not feel so a[C]lone (feel so alone)
Then I [C]feel you beside me, and even their memories are [F]gone
Like [G]stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of [C]dawn
(Chorus)
But [C]old flames can't hold a candle to [F]you
[G]No one can light up the night like you [C]do
[C]Flickering embers of love
[C]I've known one [F]or two
But [G]old flames can't hold a candle to [C]you
But [G]old flames can't hold a candle to [C]you[C/Bb][F/A]
