[Verse 1]
D
A checkered cloth red and white
                       D7
And a flickering candlelight
G                                   A    A7
  Sets the stage for our story to unfurl
         D
A lonely girl a handsome man
                         D7
Across the table holding hands
G                 A7                 D
  Seeking love in our candle lighted world
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
Yet the story goes untold
                      D7
For my finger flashes gold
   G                            A    A7
As I reach up to brush a fallen curl
         D
And your wedding band goes by
                          D7
As you straighten up your tie
    G               A7             D
Two cheaters in our candle lighted world
 
 
[Bridge]
    E                 E7
Our unsteady light of love can't
         A7
Hold the darkness back for long
        E                     E7
And the darkness brings a guilty conscience
A7
When the candle's gone
 
 
[Verse 3]
       D
Now my husband back at home
                      D7
And the wife he left alone
G                                A     A7
   forgotten as wine and passion whirl
    D
But who's to take the blame
                       D7
For that solid wall of shame
     G              A7             D
That borders on our candle lighted world
 
 
[Outro]
     G              A7             D
That borders on our candle lighted world
