Brief Candles The Zombies
THE ZOMBIES - BRIEF CANDLES
Intro: Esus2 F#m7/E
Verse:
[Esus2]There she sits her [F#m7/E]hands are held
Tight around her gl[E]ass
[Esus2]She only needs to [F#m7/E]be alone
She knows this mood will p[E]ass[E/D#]
[C#m6]To realize that [B]she was strong
And [Bm]he too weak to [F#]stay
And to real[Bm]ize that[Bm/A] she is [C]better off this [D]way
Chorus:
Brief [A]candles in her [A/G]mind
Bright and [D/F#]tiny gems of [F]memory[E]
Brief [A]candles burn so[A/G] fine
Leaves a [D/F#]light inside where [F]she can [E]see
What m[D]akes it all worthwh[A]ile
Her s[D]adness makes her s[B]mile...
[Esus2]His alone girl f[F#m7/E]ades away
Left out on a li[E]mb
[Esus2]Finds he needs her m[F#m7/E]ore because
She's no more need for h[E]im[E/D#]
[C#m6]He understood so v[B]ery well
The [Bm]things she had to s[F#]ay
Soon he'll underst[Bm]and that[Bm/A] he is b[C]etter off this w[D]ay
Chorus:
Brief candles in his mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where he can see
What makes it all worthwhile
His sadness makes him smile...
Instrumental break:
[F#] [G-5] [A] [D]
[F#] [G-5] [A] [B]
[Esus2]In the corner s[F#m7/E]ee his face
The man just sips his dr[E]ink
[Esus2]Not one feeling d[F#m7/E]oes he show
Far too numb to t[E]hink[E/D#]
He [C#m6]does not say a [B]single word
No w[Bm]ord of love to [F#]say
Maybe he will [Bm]soon bel[Bm/A]ieve he's b[C]etter off this [D]way...
Chorus:
Brief candles in his mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where he can see
What makes it all worthwhile
His sadness makes him smile...
