              Intro 
E  F#m  A 
 
Verse 
B         E A           E 
I saw you staring at each other 
           C#m  F#m     B 
I saw your eyes begin to glow 
            E   A             E  A 
And I could tell you once were lovers 
                              B        E 
You ain't hiding nothing that I don't know. 
 
Chorus 
           A         B              E 
There's an old flame burning in your eyes 
        C#m                  F#m               B 
That's tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise 
             E                  A 
Now that old flame might not be stronger 
     E                A 
But it's been burning longer 
         C#m            A      B      E 
Than any spark I mighta started in your eyes. 
 
Instrumental 
C#m E A B 
 
Verse 
            E  A          E 
You said it ended when he left you 
             C#m F#m       B 
You say your love for me is strong 
                E  A           E   A 
But those old memories still upset you 
                          B         E 
Well I might be a memory before too long 
 
Chorus 
           A         B              E 
There's an old flame burning in your eyes 
        C#m                  F#m               B 
That's tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise 
             E                  A 
Now that old flame might not be stronger 
     E                A 
But it's been burning longer 
         C#m            A      B      E 
Than any spark I mighta started in your eyes.
