Intro: Esus2 F#m7/E Verse:
Esus2		   F#m7/E
There she sits her hands are held

		   E
Tight around her glass

Esus2	          F#m7/E
She only needs to be alone

			  E     E/D#
She knows this mood will pass

C#m6		B
To realize that she was strong

    Bm		   F#
And he too weak to stay

	   Bm      Bm/A    C		   D
And to realize that she is better off this way
Chorus:
      A	             A/G
Brief candles in her mind

	   D/F#		F     E
Bright and tiny gems of memory

      A		     A/G
Brief candles burn so fine

	 D/F#		    F	    E
Leaves a light inside where she can see

      D			 A
What makes it all worthwhile

     D		       B
Her sadness makes her smile...

Esus2		F#m7/E
His alone girl fades away

		E
Left out on a limb

Finds he needs her more because

			E     E/D#
She's no more need for him

C#m6		  B
He understood so very well

The things she had to say

Soon he'll understand that he is better off this way
Chorus: Brief candles in his mind Bright and tiny gems of memory Brief candles burn so fine Leaves a light inside where he can see What makes it all worthwhile His sadness makes him smile... Instrumental break: F# G-5 A D F# G-5 A B
Esus2	       F#m7/E
In the corner see his face

			E
The man just sips his drink

Esus2		 F#m7/E
Not one feeling does he show 

		 E     E/D#	
Far too numb to think

   C#m6		  B
He does not say a single word

    Bm		   F#
No word of love to say

	      Bm      Bm/A       C		D
Maybe he will soon believe he's better off this way...
Chorus: Brief candles in his mind Bright and tiny gems of memory Brief candles burn so fine Leaves a light inside where he can see What makes it all worthwhile His sadness makes him smile... Outro: Verse fade out
