  She says it's been so long, she can't remember when 
G5             G5       C5                   G5     C5    C5   D5   G5 
  The mention of his name didn't make her feel again 
     G5             G5            C5           G5         C5     C5   E5   D5 
That everything is possible and every day a brand new start 
      G5                G5          C5             G5            C5  C5  D5  G5 
Yeah, love's something powerful when it finds a willing heart 
 

    B5           B5           C5           C5 
Sometimes it's a fire burning out of control 
    E5           E5             C5         C5 
Sometimes it's a candle burning long and low 
G5           G5             C5         G5 
All these years she never let it go 
          C5          C5     D5   G5 
There's a keeper for every flame 
 

G5  G5  C5  G5    C5  C5  E5  D5

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 
 

 B5  B5  C5  C5    E5  E5  C5  C5

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 
 

G5  G5  C5  G5    C5  C5  E5  D5    G5  G5  C5  G5    C5  C5  D5  G5 
{instrumental; repeat and fade}
