Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

You're amazing but you're taking too much time

 I've only got six candles left

 And I'm trying to keep this off my mind

It's getting darker but it's the way they make feel

 They try to fill my head with questions

 They all doubt you but I know you're real

If it takes time then I'll be patient

 Know that I will still believe

 I'll take your hand and hold it tightly

 Because I know you'll carry me

Chorus

 Take me high, Take me in, Take these last six candles

 And when I'm tired, of wearing thin.

 Give me the strength to carry on

 Here I am, see my hands, take these last six candles

 We're moving on, we'll keep, keep, moving on

And I'm so thankful for every breath I take

 Theres not a moment that goes by

 I waste wiping tears out of my crying face

Don't look so sad, you've missed the point

 I'm still so glad I knew you against the odds

 I'll take my chances and burn this candle through you

If it takes time then I'll be patient

 Know that I will still believe

 I'll take your hand and hold it tightly

 Because I know you'll carry me

Chorus

 Take me high, Take me in, Take these last six candles

 And when I'm tired, of wearing thin.

 Give me the strength to carry on

 Here I am, see my hands, take these last six candles

 We're moving on, we'll keep, keep, moving on

If I could ever see the way you understand me

When no one else can see it

I know you surround me

I'll be the one who listens only when you tell me

Not walking but running, not talking, yelling

And they might never understand why I do what I do

But I can only speak my mind

 And what I feel is true

 I'll take a vow to be the only one who stands if it takes

All that I am, I will be standing, there, there

Chorus

Take me high, Take me in, Take these last six candles

 And when I'm tired, and wearing thin

 Give me the strength to carry on

 Here I am, see my hands, take these last six candles

 We're moving on, we'll keep, keep, moving on (x2)
