[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][Em][Asus4][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]We met at
the broken spoke [Bm]restaurant and lounge
I [G]lit your cigarette and then you wro
[Em]te your number d[Asus4]own
On [D]the inside of a matchbook that was
[Bm]laying on the bar
And a [G]fire started burn[Em]ing
[Asus4]some where in m[D]y heart

[Verse 2]
I didn't see [D]it coming,
guess [Bm]I didn't read the signs
I just [G]never thought you'd leave
me [Em]after all [A]this time
[D]But today when I came home my key
[Bm]was hollow in the door
And there was [G]nothing but a worn [Em]out
book of [Asus4]matches on t[D]he floor

[Verse 3]
You took [G]the bed
You took the [Em]dishes and the car
[Asus4]You broke my trust[D]
You took ad[Bm]vantage of my heart
You left [A]me [G]here
With empty [Bm]rooms and walls [A]with holes
[D]and [G]scars and scratches
If I [Em]find the strength [D]to burn you
[G]memories [Asus4]down
At least you [D]left the matches
[Bm][Em]

[Verse 4]
[Asus4][A]
The [D]color's old and faded the
[Bm]cover's worn and stained
But i [G]can still make out the numbers
[Em]and the heart beside your [Asus4]name
[D]Un til tonight they'd only
lit a [Bm]single cigarette
Now [G]one by one I'm strik[Em]ing them to
[A]help me to [Asus4]for get[D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]And everybody a[A]t t[D]he broken s[G]poke
All thought [Bm]my crazy s[A]tory was a[G] joke
Now [Bm]they're out there in
the park[A]ing lot
Star[G]ing at the smoke
You [D]took the bed

[Verse 6]
[G]
You took the [Em]dishes and the car
[A]You broke my [Asus4]trust[D]
You took [Bm]ad vantage of my heart
You left [A]me [G]here
With empty [Bm]rooms and walls with
[A]holes [D]and [G]scars and scratches
And [Em]the hurt I need to [D]burn [G]those
memories [Asus4]down
At least you [D]left the matches
[A]Baby

[Verse 7]
[Bm]all that's left of
[A]our love [D]now [G]is ashes
[Em]Thank God [Asus4]you left
[D]the matches
[Bm][Asus4]
