G 3200xx G 3200xx
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G
She gave me matches, seven wooden matches
D G
She put them into a small, slim glass jar with a screw-top lid
D G
I fingered that jar, I put it in my pocket
D G
She said, “can’t go into the woods without them”, I smiled at her and left
[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 G
All the chkk-chkk-chkk, chkk sound of the matches, and the memory of her smile
D G
D G
[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 G
Matches in a jar, with a screw-top lid
D G
I know she did not mean to hurt my 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
