[Intro] G A D G (x4) [Verse 1]
    G                A     D                G
Oh, light a candle's fire, carries our good name

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

    G                       A        D                G
And you, you've had it all along, an endless need for games

              G               A       D           G
Just don't forget, a candle's fire is only just a flame
G A D G [Verse 2]
G                   A    D                 G
I hit certain from afar, failed to pull my weight

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

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

              G               A       D           G
Just don't forget, a candle's fire is only just a flame
G G D D [Chorus]
Em          A             D             G
   If I had known that to carry on that way

Em             A           D               G
   It wouldn't show in the creases on your face

Em               A             D           G
   If you should go, would you carry on my name?

Em             A           D               G
   Just let it blow in the fog of Bishop's Lane
Em A D G (x4)
