G
    I guess you're off to have your fun,
                           A
    another ending just begun,
                             C
    and I know what I don't see,
                            D
    really shouldn't bother me.
                                 G
    So go and have yourself a ball,
                                    A
    you'll be at no one's beck and call,
                                C                               D
    and with that fire in your eyes, another lover's moon will rise,
                                     G   G7
     and someone else will take the fall.

                             C                   G
And that's just the way you are, I've known all along,
                     A                          D
some candles always burn even when the night is gone.
                       C                Em
But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally,
                        C                                  D
when you find another friend who'll light your candle up again,
                          G
you can burn one down for me.

                              G
    So you don't matter anymore
                               A
    I'll convince myself, I'm sure,
                    C
    as if I give a damn,
                          D
    that's just the way I am.

                                     G
     So go on and pour yourself some wine,
                                   A
     with who'll ever spend your time,
                        C                            D
     'cause anyone can see, you won't be crying over me,
                             G   G7
    and you never were that kind.

                             C                   G
And that's just the way you are, I've known all along,
                     A                          D
some candles always burn even when the night is gone.
                       C                Em
But the strongest of flames won't burn eternally,
                        C                                  D
when you find another friend who'll light your candle up again,
                          G
you can burn one down for me.

                             C                                 D
    When you find another friend who'll light your candle up again,
                              C  D G C G
    You can burn one down for me.
