      D*  D* G* D*    
          D* G* D* 
          D* G* D* 


                   Em          A
She haunts your heart at midnight
                      D           D* Em* Bm
When you know that you should rest
        A             Em          G
You see her beauty in the sunrise
       Em*     G* A
Feel a burning in your breast
                   G       D* A
The fruit of all temptation
             D        D* G* Bm
From some forbidden tree
           A*        Em          D* A*
But the feeling that you long for
                D          D* G* D* 
Only lives when it is free


                     G     D* A
And you may hold the candle
                 D         D* A* Bm
But you cannot ho-ld the flame
       A* D*        Em       D* G
If you e--ver touch that fire
        Em* G*     A
You will ne-ver be the same
         D*      G      D* A
A spirit that's elusive
                   F#m       Bm
Something wild you cannot ta-ame
        A* Em            A*
You may ho-old the candle
                 D           D* G* D* 
But you cannot ho-ld the flame


             Em         A
Unexpectedly you see her
                 D       D* G* Bm
In the middle of your day
              A*   Em              D* G
And she fills your heart with wonder
       Em* G*      A
As you try to look away
              G   D* A
A dangerous desire
                D          D* A* Bm
But you cannot stem the ti-ide
                    A*     Em        D* A*
The ebb and flow of all your dreamings
                     D      D* G* D* 
You keep locked up deep inside


                     G     D* A
And you may hold the candle
                 D         D* A* Bm
But you cannot ho-ld the flame
      A* D*        Em       D* G
If you e-ver touch that fire
        Em* G*     A
You will ne-ver be the same
         D*      G      D* A
A spirit that's elusive
                   F#m       Bm
Something wild you cannot ta-ame
        A* Em            A*
You may ho-old the candle
                 D           D* G* D  
But you cannot ho-ld the flame


        G      A      F#m       Bm
And the angels dance around her head
         Em          A      D
When the moon shines on her hair
          G   A        F#m    Bm
There are galaxies within her eyes
  Em                  A  
Untold stories linger there
D                 Em         A
 Every moment has its purpose
               D       D* A* Bm
Every moment has its end
         D                Em    D* A*
The only tree that cannot wither
                     D       D* G* D 
Is the one that will not bend


                     G     D* A
And you may hold the candle
                 D         D* A* Bm
But you cannot ho-ld the flame
      A* D*        Em       D* G
If you e-ver touch that fire
        Em* G*     A
You will ne-ver be the same
         D*      G      D* A
A spirit that's elusive
                   F#m       Bm
Something wild you cannot ta-ame
        A* Em            A*
You may ho-old the candle
                 D           D* G* D  
But you cannot ho-ld the flame


          Em            A*
You may ho-ld the candle
                            D   D* G* D  D*
But you'll never ho-ld the flame

About LLG♥

Hello there! I’m a wife, mother and self-taught guitarist.   I first picked up a guitar in 2010 and haven’t put it down since! I’m not that great of a player, but I get by.  Besides, my talent isn’t in the playing, it’s in the ears ;)

I first discovered I had an ear for transcribing music while playing tabs on Ultimate Guitar.  So many of them were just wrong!   I started making correct versions and it just grew from there.   I left UG having tabbed over 300 songs on that site.  (I was the #1 Daily Most Popular Contributor for over 2 years straight, now I’m down to #7.  Not bad since I haven’t posted a tab on UG in many years!)

In 2013 I created Live Love Guitar and amazingly enough, I’m still here! I’m just a little site but I think users know they can count on correct, well formatted tabs.  I try to make my tabs as easy as possible while still being correct.  This makes a huge difference for new players!  I would have quit playing had I not learned the beauty of a capo and transposing :)  My capo is my best friend!!  (If you don’t have a capo, you must get one!  It makes the world of difference for beginners! Go now!  Then come back to Live Love Guitar and play away!)

Thanks for visiting and I hope I can keep up with all the song requests being submitted, keeping Live Love Guitar alive!  :)
