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
[Chorus]
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/C D/B D/Ab
But old flames, can't hold a candle to you
[Key Change to D#]
D# G#
Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known
A# D#
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
[Chorus](in key of D#)
