[Verse 1]
               D                 
She gave me matches, seven wooden 
    G
matches
               D               
She put them into a small, slim 
                            G
glass jar with a screw-top lid
                D                  
I fingered that jar, I put it in my
    G
 pocket
                    D              
She said, “can’t go into the woods 
without them”, I smiled at her and 
G
left


Continues after the ad
[Chorus 1]
                A           G
And I kept them dry, and as long as 
there were six
       A            G
I’d be fine, and as long as there 
were five


[Verse 2]
                D               G
Matches in that jar, mile after mile
                  D                
All the chkk-chkk-chkk, chkk sound 
of the matches, and the memory of 
    G
her smile

[Chorus 2]
            A           G
I kept them dry, and as long as 
there were five
       A            G
I’d be fine, and as long as there 
were four


[Verse 3]
             D                     
Matches in a jar, with a screw-top 
G
lid
               D                   
I know she did not mean to hurt my 
                              G
feelings, but that’s what she did


[Chorus 3]
            A           G
I kept them dry, and as long as 
there were three
       A        G
I’d be fine, as long as there were 
two
                D
Matches in that jar
