Candles Original

Intro: F# C# Ebm B
                      B
The power lines went out
               F#
And I am all alone
                    B
But I don’t really care at all
                   F#
Not answering my phone
                    B
All the games you played
                  F#
The promises you made
                          B
Couldn’t finish what you started
                     G#m
Only darkness still remains
      B
Lost sight
         G#m
Couldn’t see
B                 C#
When it was you and me
F#
Blow the candles out
C#                    Ebm
Looks like a solo tonight
      B           C#
I’m beginning to see the light
F#
Blow the candles out
C#                   Ebm
Looks like a solo tonight
       B         C#
But I think I’ll be alright

                      B
Been black and blue before
                      F#
There’s no need to explain
             B
I am not the jaded kind
                  F#
Playback’s such a waste
             B
You’re invisible
             F#
Invisible to me
                  B
My wish is coming true
                          G#m
Erase the memory of your face
      B
Lost sight
          G#m
Couldn’t see
B           C#
When it was you and me
F#
Blow the candles out
C#                    Ebm
Looks like a solo tonight
      B           C#
I’m beginning to see the light

One day
B
You will wake up
G#m                        B
With nothing but your 'sorry''s
G#m
And someday
B
You will get back
F#                   C#
everything you gave me
F#
