G G C G C C Em/G D/A intro
She says it's been so long, she can't remember when
G G C G C C D GThe mention of his name didn't make her feel again
G G C G C C Em DThat everything is possible and every day a brand new start
Yeah, love's something powerful when it finds a willing heart
Sometimes it's a fire burning out of control
Em Em C CSometimes it's a candle burning long and low
G G C GAll these years she never let it go
There's a keeper for every flame
[instrumental]
G G C G C C D G[instrumental]
There is someone in his past that he hasn't gotten over yet
Each day's like the last, he just misses what he can't forget
It's just an empty space where something used to be
Now he guards the gate, but he's lost the key
So no one enters, but no one leaves
There's a keeper for every flame
Bm Bm C C Em Em C C
[instrumental]
[instrumental]
Thought my heart had broken, but it was just a little bruised
I thought love had spoken, I guess I was just confused
Sometimes we were a fire burning out of control
Sometimes we were nothing but a candle glow
But it never died, baby, how I know
There's a keeper for every flame
G G C G C C Em D G G C G C C D G
[instrumental; repeat and fade]
