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