Beirut – A Candles Fire (Guitar)

    C                D     G                C
Oh, light a candle's fire, carries our good name

               C           D      G                  C
What would you ask a campfire, it scares me just the same

    C                       D        G                C
And you, you've had it all along, 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
I hit certain from afar, failed to pull my weight

             C                              D        G                  C
But you were light, we traveled through the fall to arrive at our front gate

  C                        D       G               C
Tonight we rest beside the fire, a smile upon your face

              C               D       G           C
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?

Am             D           G               C
   Just let it blow in the fog of Bishop's Lane
