Merle Haggard - Old flames

^DDowntown tonight, I saw an old friend someone ^Gwho I ^Aused to take comfort from long before I met ^Dyou And I caught a spark in her ^D7eyes a forgotten de^Gsire With a ^Aword or a touch, I could have rekindled that ^Dfire

But ^Dold ^F#m/Dflames, ^Dcan't hold a ^D7candle to ^Gyou ^ANo one can light up the night like you ^Ddo ^DFlickering embers of love, I've ^D7known one or ^Gtwo But ^Aold flames, can't hold a candle to ^Dyou ^{D/C D/B D/Ab}

^D#Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've ^G#known I ^A#remember how holding them, helped me not feel so a^D#lone Then I ^D#feel you beside me and ^D#7even their memories are ^G#gone And like ^A#stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of ^D#dawn
