        E                        A
I tried hundred proof whiskey to just fuel the flame
     E                        B7
That just keeps on burning so true
        E                   A
There's no other light that shines quite as bright
        E            B7        E  
As this torch that I carry for you


I've tried to forget you but it just can't be done
My old heart just won't love someone new
No, I've never found a way to lay down
This torch that I carry for you


Chorus:
A                         E 
My heart will never leave your shadow, dear
  A                              F#        B7
I know I can't have you but just let me be there
            E                         A
'Cause I'll make it alright if you'll stand in the light
        E            B7        E 
Of this torch that I carry for you

Solo's

Tag:
Yes I'll make it alright if you'll stand in the light
Of this torch that I carry for you
         E            B7        A              E
Oh, this torch that I carry for you (carry for you)
