Intro; D Bm Em G A
Verse;
D Em
We met at the Broken Spoke restaurant and lounge
G Em A
I lit your cigarette and you wrote your number down
D Bm
On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar
G Em A D
And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart
D Bm
I didn't see it coming, guess I didn't see the signs
G Em A
I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time
D Bm
But today when I came home my key was hollow in the door
G Em A
There was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the
D
floor
G Em A
You took the bed, you took the dishes and the car
D Bm
And you broke my trust, you took advantage of my heart
A A G Bm
And you left me here with empty rooms and walls with
A D G
holes, scars and scratches
Em F#m G A
If I find the strength to burn your memory down, at least
D
you left the matches
Turnaround; D Bm Em G A
Verse;
D Bm
The colors old and faded, the covers worn and stained
G Em
But I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside
A
your name
D Bm
Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette
G Em A D
Now one by one I'm striking them to help me to forget
Bridge;
Bm A G
And everybody at the Broken Spoke
Bm A G
They all thought my crazy story was a joke
Bm A G
Now they're all out in the parking lot staring at the smoke
Chorus;
Tag;
Bm A G
Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes
A
Thank god you left the matches
Turnaround; D Bm Em G A
End
