  She says it's been so long, she can't remember when 
G             G       C                   G     C    C   D   G 
  The mention of his name didn't make her feel again 
     G             G            C           G         C     C   Em   D 
That 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         C 
Sometimes it's a candle burning long and low 
G           G             C         G 
All these years she never let it go 
          C          C     D   G

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

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
