A Thousand Matches

[Verse]
Lying on a mattress cause my 
  A              B             E 
friend's crazy sister took my bed
       A B
 away
       E                           
Sleeping she looked like an actress
      A           B
 in theory and in practice
               E                 
I said there's got to be a better 
      A B
way
               E
She said you light a thousand 
matches
            A         B           
When you finally set fire will you
  E         A B
 run away?
    C#m           G#m
So why'd you go and do it
          A                  B    
When you knew that you would go 
                E B
and I would stay?

           E                       
I hit the wall in frustration, the 
    A                  B          
conversation had been circling for
  E   A B
 days
                 E                 
She said don't take it out on him, 
         A               B
for the wall has always been
   E                            A B
Supportive in the best of ways
         E                    
We're laughing and crying like 
   A      B           E
madmen dying in the snow
              C#m           G#m
For just one second it was funny 
        A                       B 
that she would have to stay and I 
         E
would go

            A         E
And I said love, you know, I love 
you so
          A       E               
When you love someone well you've 
   B
gotta let 'em know

            A          E         
She said "Nothing's changed, I 
B           E
love you the same
          A              E
When you love someone, sometimes you
 gotta let 'em go"

                              A    
She handed me a stone in the 
       B       E    A B
perfect shape of a heart
              E
She said I'm gonna take this home
       A                B    
For I know you'll only lose it 
              E         A B
somewhere after dark
          E
In some faceless hotel room
      A            B             E
You seem to lose everything you own
            C#m             G#m
She didn't mean it how it sounded
          A                     B 
What she meant was she would stay 
             E
and I would go

            A         E        B 
And I said love, you know, I love
      E
 you so
          A      E              
When you love someone well you've 
   B             E
gotta let 'em know
           A          E
She said "Nothing's changed
   B            E
I love you the same
           A
When you love someone
  E             B           E
Sometimes you gotta let 'em go"

  A             B           E
Sometimes you tear it all apart
    A        B             E
To see the wood from the trees
   A            B            E   
Sometimes you break your own 
C#m A
heart
    B          E
To set yourself free

A B E A B C#m G#m A B E A E


I walked her to the station
  A                  B            
Hesitation in our movements and 
   E   A B
our tone
  E                       A  B
Words finally left after realizing
                           E    A B
How uncomfortable they'd grown
               E
See, what you want and what you 
need, well
       A       B          E   A B
They seldomly succeed to grow
      C#m        G#m              
We reluctantly agreed that when 
   A
you love someone
     B            E
You gotta let them go
