G I took up my pen-en_ tonight_C_ I couldn't seem_ to write_
G It's like I Gmaj7/F#got_ religiEmon__ a-and__ thCen I lost_ the light_
G An old_ Gmaj7/F#woman_ once told Emme__ she'd al_-Cways felt that A(sus2)way__ A 
She said: "CTaken from the Gmold__ Cwhile it still can Drun_
Em A candle might_ not_ keep_ you from the Bmcold__
C But buy ano_-ther can_-dle son_ it's Bmnot_ too much_ to pay__"
For Cone more_ try_ and I had to smile_ before I walked away___

G Coffee hou_-ses bother me_C_ I cannot tell you why_
G But it never Gmaj7/F#seems__ hello Emsounds as sweetC__ a-as good-bye_
G And the waitresGmaj7/F#ses in_ pasEmsing__ remem_-Cber all_ your namesA__ A(sus4) 
They say_ "CLook around and Gtry__ to Cmeet a single Deye_"
Em And "Empty cups_ will_ mock me-e_ if I Bmstay__
C But buy ano_-ther cof_-fee Stan_ now_ it's Bmnot_ too much_ to pay__
And Cwe will_ try__ to raise your smile__ before you walk away_G__"
ToEmnight__ in a room__ full_ of Bmcan-angles___
C Another cup_ of ashes drains away_G____C G 
And at Emtimes__ it gets so__ hard___ to Dhandle__
C Knowing one more_ sim_-ple song has_Bm swiftly taken wing__Am 
And CI'm left alone__ to hear the song__ a lonely candle sings____

G One_ too many cigarettes__C slowly burning down_
G And the final Gmaj7/F#cup of co_-ofEmfee__ was co_-Ccold___ and full of grounds_
G And maybe Gmaj7/F#one last piEmpeful__ might seCnd the words_ aroA(sus2)und__ A 
Still_ Cunderneath my Ghands__ this Cnight has slipped awDay__
Em And lea-eaves me as_ empty as_ this Bmpa_-ge_
C One more candle flickers out_Bm the night is turn_-ing grey__
And I Cjust can't watch_ the dying flame_ I have to walk away__G 
So toEmnight__ I have burned__ all__ my Bmcan-andles___
C Leaving on_-ly ashes in their wake__G___C G 
And at Emtimes__ I get so__ hard___ to Dhandle__
C The simple songs_ leave me_ behind__Bm they all have ta_-ken wing__Am 
And CI'm left alone__ to hear the song__ a lonely candle sings____
