Striking Matches

G C G C

[Verse 1]
C                                
Striking matches an' I'm smokin' 
G
cigarettes
             F               
Puttin on a kettle, playin' a 
      G
cassette
C                               
Foldin' up the papers, rubbin' my 
   G
eyes
            F                      
Thinkin' of all that happened last 
 G
night
C                            
The passion, the feelings that 
         G
soaked in her love
                  F           
And the pools of silence where 
              G
kisses were sprung
C                                  
Her love levitates me, I'm walking 
G
on air
                  F           
Two feet from the carpet, I'll 
           G
always be there

[Chorus]
G                 C        G    
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's 
        C
mornin' again
G             C       G         
I look in the mirror, I still 
       C
look the same

[Verse 2]
C                                 
Striking matches, getting a flame on
G
 the stove

                    F          
There's some of her hair in the 
             G
teeth of my comb
C                           
Dirty clothes piled up on the 
  G
bathroom floor
                F              
She's silently sleepin', I half 
           G
close the door
C                       G
I see her beauty layin' on my bed
              F                  
I'm warm from within me with what 
          G
she has said
C                                
Her love is my balloon, I won't let 
G
it down
             F                  
For ever and ever I'll always be 
 G
proud

[Chorus]
G                 C        G    
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's 
        C
mornin' again
G             C       G         
I look in the mirror, I still 
       C
look the same
G                 C        G    
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's 
        G
mornin' again
G                 C        G    
Ooh, I'm striking matches, I go 
      C
up in flames

[Middle]
G
I'm a director casting for a part
C
(Turn on the light)
G
It's for a soap set here right in my
 heart
C
(Leave her alone)
G
Shuffle to the window, shuffle to 
the door
C
(Don't wake her up)
G
She got the part I don't wanna see 
anymore
C
(Unplug the phone)

[Chorus]
G                 C        G    
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's 
        C
mornin' again
G             C       G         
I look in the mirror, I still 
       C
look the same
G                 C             
Ooh, I'm striking matches,
G               C

G                 C        G    
Ooh, I'm striking matches, I go 
      C
up in flames
