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
