 D2        D5    D    D2       Em   Em7        G         D  D/F# D/E  D
There she sits, her hands are held tight a - round her glass,
     D2   D5   D  D2      Em        Em7        G         D  D/F# D/E  D
She only needs to be a - lone, she knows this mood will pass,
    E     E7        A                  Am     Am7      E
To real - ise that she was strong, and he too weak to stay,
E7    E7sus4   C        F       Bb             C
And to real - ise that she is better off this way!


        G            G7/F             C/E          Cm7/Eb  D
Brief candles in her mind, bright and tiny gems of memor - y,
        G             G7/F            C/E              Cm7/Eb    D
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside where she can see...
       C                    G           C                A    Asus4 A
What makes it all worth - while, her sadness makes her smile---------!


D2        D5    D    D2       Em   Em7      G     D  D/F# D/E  D
He's a - lone, girl fades a - way, left out on a limb,
  D2       D5   D   D2         Em         Em7      G        D  D/F# D/E  D
Finds he needs her more, be - cause she's no more need for him,
     E      E7       A             Am        Am7     E
He under - stood so very well the things she had to say,
  E7       E7sus4   C        F       Bb             C
Soon he'll under -stand that he is better off this way!


        G            G7/F             C/E          Cm7/Eb  D
Brief candles in his mind, bright and tiny gems of memor - y,
        G             G7/F            C/E              Cm7/Eb   D
Brief candles burn so fine, leaves a light inside where he can see...

D2      D5     D   D2      Em       Em7       G         D  D/F# D/E  D
In the corn - er, see his face, the man just sips his drink,
D2       D5     D   D2      Em        Em7      G        D  D/F# D/E  D
Not one feel - ing does he show, he's far too numb to think,
    E        E7     A              Am      Am7     E
He does not say a single word, no word of love to say,
 E7  E7sus4     C          F          Bb             C
Maybe  he will soon be - lieve he's better off this way!
