  • Put a capo on fret 4 to stay in the same key

Intro:
    E Abm Dbm Abm
    E Abm Dbm Abm
    E Abm Dbm Abm
    E Abm Dbm Abm


E            Abm           Dbm        Abm
Light a roman candle with me
E            Abm       Dbm            Abm
Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals
    A                  Abm          Gbm Abm
and I'll pour you just one cup of tea.
     A              Abm
Then you can go and rest
    Gbm              Abm
you haven't seen my best, so...


E             Abm         Dbm         Abm
Just spend an evening with me
E            Abm     Dbm              Abm
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
   A                Abm               Gbm    Abm
or we could stay and talk until three.
A                 Abm            Gbm         Abm
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so...


E            Abm           Dbm        Abm
Light a roman candle with me
E            Abm
Just a roman candle
Dbm            Abm    E
Just a perfect apple


Interlude: Gb A Abm E

E            Abm           Dbm        Abm
Light a roman candle with me
E            Abm
Just a roman candle
Dbm            Abm   E  Gbm  Abm 
Just a perfect apple
A          Abm        Gbm          Abm       A
If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together
    Abm         Gbm         Abm
a sandwich with everything on it,
   E             Abm           Dbm            Abm
at least we would know that the sparks didn't glow
       E          Abm         Dbm
but we owe it to ourselves to try,
      Abm         A
so we aim and ignite!
   Abm     Gbm        Abm
So often I call and I plead with you:
     A     Abm
"Give me a chance!"
         Gbm        Abm          E
It's not often that I understand
    Abm         Dbm            Abm                    E 
the ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right
         Abm        Dbm       Abm  E  Gbm  Abm 
So don't think of tomorrow tonight.


A     Abm           Gbm          Abm
Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old
        A         Abm             Gbm          Abm
But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone, so alive

Interlude:
    E Abm Dbm Abm
    E Abm Dbm Abm


     A         Abm
You look for a legend,
    Gbm          Abm
I'm looking for common ground.
     A             Abm
Your heart isn't breaking,
    Gbm        Abm
and mine isn't making a sound.

Interlude: 
    E Abm Dbm Abm
    E Abm Dbm Abm 
    E  Gbm  Abm 


A    Abm           Gbm         Abm
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old
A    Abm           Gbm         Abm
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old


E            Abm           Dbm        Abm
Light a roman candle with me
E            Abm
Just a roman candle
Dbm            Abm    E
Just a perfect apple
