Intro: C D G C 

                       
   C 
Oh, light a candle's fire, it carries our good name 
                           C               D 
What would you ask a campfire? 
      G                          C 
It scares me just the same 
            C                            D 
And you, you've had it all along 
      G                         C 
An endless need for games 
                     C                    D        G           
      C 
Just don't forget, a candle's fire is only just a flame 

C D G C 

(same as the first verse) 

I hit certain from afar, failed to pull my weight 
But you were light, we traveled through the fall 
To arrive at our front gate 
Tonight, we rest beside the fire 
A smile upon your face 
Just don't forget, a candle's fire is only just a flame 


Am              D                   G                 C 
  If I had known, that to carry on that way 
Am                    D                 G                   C 
  It wouldn't show in the creases on your face 
Am                     D                     G               C 
  If you should go, would you carry on my name?                   
     C 
  Just let it blow, and the blah blah blah blah blaaah(what does he say??)
