D G

Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend someone who

A D

I used to take comfort from long before I met you

D7 G

And I caught a spark in her eyes a forgotten desire

A D

With a word or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire

D F#m/D D D7 G

But old flames, can't hold a candle to you

A D

No one can light up the night like you do

D D7 G

Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two

A D D/CD/BD/Ab

But old flames, can't hold a candle to you

D# G#

Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known

A# DD#

I remember how holding them, helped me not feel so alone

D# D#7 G#

Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone

A# D#

And like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn
