Intro: (E Abm C#m Abm) 4x

E            Abm           C#m        Abm
Light a roman candle with me
E            Abm       C#m            Abm
Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals
    A                  Abm          F#m Abm
and I'll pour you just one cup of tea.
     A              Abm
Then you can go and rest
    F#m              Abm
you haven't seen my best, so...


E             Abm         C#m         Abm
Just spend an evening with me
E            Abm     C#m              Abm
Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
   A                Abm               F#m    Abm
or we could stay and talk until three.
A                 Abm            F#m         Abm
I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so...



E            Abm           C#m        Abm
Light a roman candle with me
E            Abm
Just a roman candle
C#m            Abm    E
Just a perfect apple

E            Abm           C#m        Abm
Light a roman candle with me
E            Abm
Just a roman candle
C#m            Abm   E  F#m  Abm 
Just a perfect apple
A          Abm        F#m          Abm       A
If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together
    Abm         F#m         Abm
a sandwich with everything on it,
   E             Abm           C#m            Abm
at least we would know that the sparks didn't glow
       E          Abm         C#m
but we owe it to ourselves to try,
      Abm         A
so we aim and ignite!
   Abm     F#m        Abm
So often I call and I plead with you:
     A     Abm
"Give me a chance!"
         F#m        Abm          E
It's not often that I understand
    Abm         C#m            Abm                    E 
the ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right
         Abm        C#m       Abm  E  F#m  Abm 
So don't think of tomorrow tonight.


A     Abm           F#m          Abm
Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old
        A         Abm             F#m          Abm
But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone, so alive

     A         Abm
You look for a legend,
    F#m          Abm
I'm looking for common ground.
     A             Abm
Your heart isn't breaking,
    F#m        Abm
and mine isn't making a sound.

E Abm C#m Abm
E Abm C#m Abm
E  F#m  Abm 

A    Abm           F#m         Abm
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old
A    Abm           F#m         Abm
Oh I know, it goes on, it gets old



E            Abm           C#m        Abm
Light a roman candle with me
E            Abm
Just a roman candle
C#m            Abm    E
Just a perfect apple
