Sammy Kershaw - The Matches guitar chord

Intro; D Bm Em G A

Verse;

D Em

We met at the Broken Spoke restaurant and lounge

G Em A

I lit your cigarette and you wrote your number down

D Bm

On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar

G Em A D

And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart

D Bm

I didn't see it coming, guess I didn't see the signs

G Em A

I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time

D Bm

But today when I came home my key was hollow in the door

G Em A

There was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the

D

floor

Chorus;

G Em A

You took the bed, you took the dishes and the car

D Bm

And you broke my trust, you took advantage of my heart

A A G Bm

And you left me here with empty rooms and walls with

A D G

holes, scars and scratches

Em F#m G A

If I find the strength to burn your memory down, at least

D

you left the matches

Turnaround; D Bm Em G A

Verse;

D Bm

The colors old and faded, the covers worn and stained

G Em

But I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside

A

your name

D Bm

Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette

G Em A D

Now one by one I'm striking them to help me to forget

Bridge;

Bm A G

And everybody at the Broken Spoke

Bm A G

They all thought my crazy story was a joke

Bm A G

Now they're all out in the parking lot staring at the smoke

Chorus;

Tag;

Bm A G

Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes

A

Thank god you left the matches

Turnaround; D Bm Em G A

End
