Love Match Buddy Miller
Buddy Miller Love Match written by Paul Kennerley
[E]The crowd had gathered
They heard the word [B]that pretty soon I'd be losing [E]her
[E]They stood in line just to see
[B]The work that she would make of [E]me
[A]They held their breath whispered low
[B]Waiting for that final blow
[A]They called her name she was picked to win
[B]As we walked out into the ring
In the [E]first round she broke my [A]heart
In the [E]second round she tore it [B]apart
In the [E]third round I was on the [A]ropes
In the [E]forth round I didn't have a h[B]ope
[B]The thing she said in the final bout
[A]Laid me low really [B]knocked me out
[B]She waved to the crowd without a scratch
The [A]heartache champion of this l[B]ove ma[E]tch
[E]Mmm [B]love [E]match mmmm [B]love match
[E]They called for blood and wanted more
[B]They picked me up off of the [E]floor
[E]My head was spinning
I staggered round
[B]I couldn't stand for falling [E]down
[A]The lights were dimmed I heard them say
[B]You can't make it anyway
[A]I was game I climbed back in
[B]I tried to win her back a[E]gain
[E]In the first round she hurt me [A]bad
In the [E]second round I couldn't handle [B]that
In the t[E]hird round I almost d[A]ied
In the [E]forth round I saw that look in her [B]eyes
[B]I knew right then how it would be
[A]She turned and walked [B]away from me
I shouted fair and square there ain't no catch
She's the [A]heartache champion of the [B]love [E]match
Mmm l[B]ove m[E]atch mmmm [B]love match
