    Verse 1
    Downtown 
    tonight 
    I 
    saw 
    an 
    old 
    friend 

    Some
    one 
    who 
    I 
    use 
    to 
    take 
    comfort 

    from 
    long 
    before 
    I 
    met 
    you 

    I 
    caught 
    a 
    spark 
    from 
    his 
    eyes 

    of 
    forgotten 
    de
    sire 

    With 
    a 
    word, 
    or 
    a 
    touch, 

    I 
    could 
    have 
    rekindled 
    that 
    fire 

    Chorus 1
    But 
    old 
    flames 
    can't 
    hold 
    a 
    candle 
    to 
    you 

    No 
    one 
    can 
    light 
    up 
    the 
    night 
    like 
    you 
    do 

    Flickering 
    embers 
    of 
    love, 

    I've 
    known 
    one 
    or 
    two 

    But 
    old 
    flames 
    can't 
    hold 
    a 
    candle 
    to 

    Interlude 1
    (you) 


    Verse 2
    Sometimes 
    at 
    night 

    I 
    think 
    think 
    of 
    old 
    lovers 
    I've 
    known 

    I 
    re
    member 
    how 
    holding 
    them 

    helped 
    me 
    not 
    feel 
    so 
    a
    lone 

    (Feel 
    so 
    alone) 

    Then 
    I 
    feel 
    you 
    beside 
    me 

    and 
    even 
    their 
    memories 
    are 
    gone 

    Like 
    stars 
    in 
    the 
    night 

    lost 
    in 
    the 
    sweet 
    light 
    of 
    dawn 

    Chorus 2
    Old 
    flames 
    can't 
    hold 
    a 
    candle 
    to 
    you 

    No 
    one 
    can 
    light 
    up 
    the 
    night 
    like 
    you 
    do 

    Flickering 
    embers 
    of 
    love, 

    I've 
    known 
    one 
    or 
    two 

    But 
    old 
    flames 
    can't 
    hold 
    a 
    candle 
    to 
    you 

    Outro 1
    But 
    Old 
    flames 
    can't 
    hold 
    a 
    candle 
    to 

    you

      Best Tuning App Ever

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
