Five Candles by Jars of Clay


Verse:
                        E               C#m7
                        A promise or a dare

                        A                       B
                        I would jump if I knew you'd catch me

                        E                   C#m
                        Staring over the edge

                        A                   B
                        I can't tell if you'll be here for me

                        A
                        I close my eyes and make a wish

                        C#m7
                        Turn out the lights and take a breath

                        D
                        Pray that when the wick is burned

                        A                            B             E
                        You would say that it's all about love


Chorus:

                        E                          D
                        You were there when I needed you

                        A                                           E
                        You were there when the skies broke wide, wide
open

                        E                           D
                        You were there when I needed you

                        A                                           E
                        You were there when the skies broke wide, wide
open

Verse:
                        E          C#m            B
                        You were never here

                        E           C#m
                        I remember you said

                        A                                       B
                        Love was more than your good intentions

                        A
                        Empty boxes on the floor

                        C#m7
                        Things I never asked you for

                        D
                        I pray that when the wick is burned

                        A                            B             E
                        You would say that it's all about love


[Chorus]

   D A E A#m7add5       D                   A
                        I can't see the promise of

                         C#m7               A#m7add5
                        Excuses you fall upon

                          D                     A
                        I pray to God not holding on

                            B                              B# A A#m7add5 A
B# A
                        To things you've left undone


[Chorus x 2]

                        E
                        You were there when I

                        D
                        You were there when I

                        A                          E
                        You were there when I needed you
