**Capo 2nd Fret (To Match Recording)**

Intro: (C) (F) (C) (F)

(C) We met at The Broken (C/B) Spoke (Am) Restaurant and (Am/G) Lounge

I (F) lit your cigarette, then you (Dm) wrote your number (G) down

On the (C) inside of a matchbook (C/B) that was (Am) layin' on the bar (Am/G)

And a (F) fire started burning (G) somewhere in my (C) heart

I (C) didn't see it comin', (C/B) guess I (Am) didn't read the signs (Am/G)

I just (F) never thought you'd leave me (Dm) after all this (G) time

But to(C)day when I came home, (Am/G) my key was (Am) hollow in the (Am/G) door

And there was (F) nothin' but a worn out book of (G) matches on the fl(C)oor

You took the (F) bed

You took the (G) dishes and the (C) car

And you broke my trust

And you took ad(Am)vantage of my (Am/G) heart

And you left me (F) here

With empty (Dm) rooms and walls with (G) holes and (F) scars and scratches

If I (Am) find the strength to (Am/G) burn your (F) memory down

(Dm) At (G) least you left (C) the matches

Repeat Intro

The (C) color's old and faded, (C/B) the (Am) cover's worn and stained (Am/G)

But I can (F) still make out the numbers and the (Dm) heart beside your (G) name

Un(C)til tonight they'd only (C/B) lit a (Am) single cigarette (Am/G)

Now (F) one by one I'm striking them to (G) help me for(C)get

And (Am) everybody (G) at The Broken (F) Spoke

Well they all (Am) thought my crazy st(G)ory was a (Dm) joke

Now they're (Am) all out in the (G) parking lot

(F) Staring at the (No Chord) smoke

You took the (F) bed

You took the (G) dishes and the (C) car

And you broke my trust

And you took ad(Am)vantage of my (Am/G) heart

And you left me (F) here

With empty (Dm) rooms and walls with (G) holes and (F) scars and scratches

If I (Am) find the strength to (Am/G) burn your (F) memory down

(Dm) At (G) least you left (C) the matches

(C/B) Baby, (Am) all that's left of (Am/G) our love is (F) ashes

(Dm) Thank (G) God, you left (C) the matches

Repeat Intro
