[Verse 1]
G                    C*       G 
I met a girl named Cheyenne, she
              C*
 was 8 years old
G                     C*     G  
She told me she was married, 
                           C*
deep down I thought that was wrong
G                     C*      G 
She told me that her husband was
                 C*
 8 years old as well
G                    C*       G 
I just smiled and I nodded, but 
deep down, I still think that’s 
C*
weird

[Verse 2]
G                        C*       
Her mama told me it was destiny, 
G                        C*
she couldn’t stand in the way
G                    C*     C   
They acted like old lovers from 
               G*
the very first day
G                    C*      
“Love comes when it comes,” she 
         G               C*
said, “Oh, you just never know
G                         C*      
It could be when you’re a big kid,
 G                               
 it could be when you’re 8 years 
C*
old”


[Chorus]

She said
G           C   D   Am     G   
Light your can-dle in the dark,
 G           C        D         
 Cause this world is cold even 
Am       G
when it’s hot

You’re a borrowed soul, mama used
            D
 to tell me that
            Am      G     C       
She’d say, “keep it warm, keep it 
G          Am             D      
warm, some day you gotta give it 
G
back”

[Verse 3]
G                   C*       G  
I met a woman named Gladys, she 
      C*
was 108.     She said
G              C*                 
“John will you promise to write a 
G                             C*
song that says it’s never too late
G                C*              
Oh I don’t wanna leave here,” she
       G                     C*
 said, “but I suppose that I will
G                        C*      
I just hope they give me free 
           G                       
will up there like they gave it to 
     C*
me down here”


[Chorus]

She said…
G           C   D   Am     G   
Light your can-dle in the dark,
 G           C        D         
 Cause this world is cold even 
Am       G
when it’s hot
         C        G      C       
You’re a borrowed soul, mama used
            D
 to tell me that
            Am      G     C

[Verse 4]
G                 C*      G     
I met a boy named Dakota, he was
         C*
 3 years old
G                              
They asked him if he believed in 
   C*
Jesus, he said
 G                                
“I just believe in the collective 
C*
soul
G                     C*         
Cause, John, when you think about
     G                       C*
 it, it just makes the most sense
G               C*       G      
And if you ever doubt it just 
                    C*
put your hand into someone else’s 
hand”


[Chorus]

He said…
G           C   D   Am     G   
Light your can-dle in the dark,
 G           C        D         
 Cause this world is cold even 
Am       G
when it’s hot
         C        G      C       
You’re a borrowed soul, mama used
            D
 to tell me that
            Am      G     C       
She’d say, “keep it warm, keep it 
G
warm,
            Am      G         C  
She’d say, “keep it warm, keep it
     G
 warm,
            Am      G        C   
She’d say, “keep it warm, Oh keep
    G
 it warm,
Am                 D       G
some day you gotta give it back”
