[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Something happens when she's near
D
All the darkness disappears
G
And suddenly I'm someone else
A
More than just a shadow of myself
[Chorus]
D A
She shines and she glows
D G
And she dances in the night when the cold wind blows
D A
And she lights up a room
D/F# G
And she could burn this town down if she wanted to
Bm A G
She's soft and warm, beautiful and bright
D
She's my candlelight
[Verse 2]
D
No one else can hold a flame
D
She puts a chandelier to shame
G
Seems like everywhere she goes
G
Everything just turns to gold
A
She'll make you laugh, she'll make you smile
A
And me, I get to hold her while
[Chorus]
D A
She shines and she glows
D G
And she dances in the night when the cold wind blows
D A
And she lights up a room
D/F# G
And she could burn this town down if she wanted to
Bm A G
She's soft and warm, beautiful and bright
D
She's my candlelight
[Bridge]
D G
Oh
A
Oh
[Chorus]
D A
And she shines and she glows
D/F# G
And she dances in the night when the cold wind blows
D A
And she lights up a room
D/F# G
And she could burn this town down if she wanted to
Bm7 A G
She's soft and warm and beautiful and bright
Bm7 A G
And so I lift her up and hold her high
D
She's my candlelight
[Outro]
A D
Shine, shine, shine
D
My candlelight
A D
Shine, shine, shine
D
My candlelight
D
Shine, shine, shine
D
My candlelight
D
Shine, shine, shine

Sweet candlelight
To play "Candlelight" by Charles Esten, you'll be tuning into a romantic
and warm melody that reflects the light and beauty brought by a significant
other. This song is in the key of C#, and it's suggested to use a capo on the1st
fret to play chords that resonate with the song's tender and loving mood.
The chords involved are C, F, G, C/E, Am, and Am7, with a BPM of 166.
The strumming pattern suggested is down-up strokes (DU DU DU DU),
which captures the song's rhythm and flow.
Here's a quick guide to get you started:
Intro and Verse: Start with the C chord, setting the scene with a gentle introduction,
and then move through the verse's chord progression, maintaining the soft and
reflective tone of the song.
Chorus: The chorus brightens up with transitions between C, G, F, and Am chords,
emphasizing the lyrical depiction of "candlelight" as something (or someone) that
shines, glows, and brings warmth into the room.
Bridge: The bridge offers a momentary pause with a simple but effective progression,
allowing for a buildup back into the final chorus.
Remember, the key to this song is in its emotive delivery, matching the guitar's rhythm
and chords to the heartfelt lyrics. It's about bringing out the essence of being
someone's "candlelight" through your music.
