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


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#                                                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


Chorus (in key of D#)
