[Verse 1]
C C F F
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
G G C C
I used to take comfort from long before I met you
C C F F
I caught a spark in his eyes of forgotten desire
G G C C
With a word or a touch, I could've rekindled that fire
[Chorus 1]
C5 C5 F5 F5
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
G5 G5 C5 C5
No one can light up the night like you do
C5 C5 F5 F5
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
G5 G5 (C)
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
[Post-Chorus 1]
C C7 F Fm
Oh yeah
C C7 F Fm
Ooh ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
C C F F
Like sometime tonight, I think of old lovers I've known
G G C C
And I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone (feel so alone)
C C F F
Then I feel you beside me, and even their memories are gone
G G C C
Like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn
[Chorus 2]
C5 C5 F5 F5
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
G5 G5 C5 C5
No one can light up the night like you do
C5 C5 F5 F5
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
G5 G5 C5
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
G5 G5 (C)
But old flames can't hold a candle to you

Ah-ah oh oh-oh-oh
C C7 F Fm
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
C C7 F Fm
Can't hold a
C C7 F Fm
Candle to you, a candle to you
C C7 F Fm
Oh please, oh please
C C7 F Fm
Oh please, oh please
C
Can't hold a candle to you
