THE ZOMBIES - BRIEF CANDLES Intro: Esus2 F#m7/E Verse: Esus2 F#m7/E There she sits her hands are held Tight around her glass Esus2 F#m7/E She only needs to be alone She knows this mood will pass C#m6 B To realize that she was strong Bm F# And he too weak to stay And to realize that she is better off this way Chorus: A A/G Brief candles in her mind D/F# F E Bright and tiny gems of memory A A/G Brief candles burn so fine D/F# F E Leaves a light inside where she can see D A What makes it all worthwhile D B Her sadness makes her smile... Esus2 F#m7/E His alone girl fades away Left out on a limb Esus2 F#m7/E Finds he needs her more because She’s no more need for him C#m6 B He understood so very well Bm F# The things she had to say Soon he’ll understand that he is better off this 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... Instrumental break: F# G-5 A D F# G-5 A B Esus2 F#m7/E In the corner see his face The man just sips his drink Esus2 F#m7/E Not one feeling does he show Far too numb to think C#m6 B He does not say a single word Bm F# No word of love to say Maybe he will soon believe he’s better off this 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...
