        D             D7              G
I tried hundred proof whiskey, but it just fueled the flame

     D                        A7
That just keeps on burning so true

        D        D7         G
There's no other light that shines quite as bright

        D            A7        D   A7
As this torch that I carry for you
[Verse 2]
     D           D7             G
I've tried to forget you but it just can't be done

       D                             A7
My old heart just won't love someone new

    D          D7      G
No, I've never found a way to lay down

     D            A7        D   D7
This torch that I carry for you
[Chorus]
G                         D
My heart will never leave your shadow, dear

  G                              E7        A7
I know I can't have you but just let me be here

            D           C               G
'cause I'll make it all right if you'll stand in the light

A  G/B  D            A7        D   D7
Of this torch that I carry for you
[Interlude] G D G E7 A7 [Outro Chorus]
          D           C               G
Yes, I'll make it all right if you'll stand in the light

A  G/B  D            A7        D7
Of this torch that I carry for you

G        D            A7        G
Oh, this torch that I carry for you

 G  D/F# Em  D
(Carry   for you)
