Matches Sammy Kershaw
[D]We met at the Broken Spoke res[Bm]taurant and lounge
[G]I lit your cigarette then you w[Em]rote your number d[A]own
On the in[D]side of a matchbook that was la[Bm]ying on the bar
And a f[G]ire started burning somew[A]here in my h[D]eart
[D]I didn’t see it coming Guess I di[Bm]dn’t read the signs
[G]I just never thought you’d leave me af[Em]ter all this t[A]ime
But to[D]day when I came home my key [Bm]was hollow in the door
There was no[G]thing but a worn out book of ma[A]tches on the f[D]loor
CHORUS:
You took the b[G]ed you took the di[A]shes and the c[D]ar
And you broke my trust and you took ad[Bm]vantage of my heart
And you left me here [Em] [G] with empty rooms and walls with h[A]oles
scars and scrat-c[G]hes 1.)If I find the strength to burn your memory down
2.)Now I found
(2. Oh) [Em]At least you left the ma[D]tches
[D]The colors are old and faded The c[Bm]over’s worn and stained
But I can st[G]ill make out the numbers and the h[Em]eart beside your n[A]ame
[D]Until tonight they’d only lit a s[Bm]ingle cirgarette
Now o[G]ne by one I’m striking them to h[A]elp me for[D]get
And ev[Bm]erybody [A]at the Broken Sp[G]oke
They all tho[Bm]ught my crazy st[A]ory was a j[Em]oke
Now they’re [Bm]all in the pa[A]rking lot sta[G]ring at the smoke
go to chorus, then to ending.
ENDING:
Baby all t[Bm]hat’s left of o[A]ur love now is as[G]hes
[Em]Thank God you left the ma[D]tches
