Five Candles by Jars of Clay
Verse:
E C#m7
A promise or a dare
A B
I would jump if I knew you'd catch me
E C#m
Staring over the edge
A B
I can't tell if you'll be here for me
A
I close my eyes and make a wish
C#m7
Turn out the lights and take a breath
D
Pray that when the wick is burned
A B E
You would say that it's all about love
Chorus:
E D
You were there when I needed you
A E
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide
open
E D
You were there when I needed you
A E
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide
open
Verse:
E C#m B
You were never here
E C#m
I remember you said
A B
Love was more than your good intentions
A
Empty boxes on the floor
C#m7
Things I never asked you for
D
I pray that when the wick is burned
A B E
You would say that it's all about love
[Chorus]
D A E A#m7add5 D A
I can't see the promise of
C#m7 A#m7add5
Excuses you fall upon
D A
I pray to God not holding on
B B# A A#m7add5 A
B# A
To things you've left undone
[Chorus x 2]

You were there when I

You were there when I
A E
You were there when I needed you
