[Verse]
C C/B Am Am/G
We met at The Broken Spoke Restaurant and Lounge
F Dm G
I lit your cigarette, then you wrote your number down
C C/B Am Am/G
On the inside of a matchbook that was layin' on the bar
F G C
And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart
C C/B Am Am/G
I didn't see it comin', guess I didn't read the signs
F Dm G
I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time
C Am/G Am Am/G
But to day when I came home, my key was hollow in the door
F G C
And there was nothin' but a worn out book of matches on the fl oor
[Chorus]
F
You took the bed
G C
You took the dishes and the car
And you broke my trust
Am Am/G
And you took ad vantage of my heart
F
And you left me here
Dm G F
With empty rooms and walls with holes and scars and scratches
Am Am/G F
If I find the strength to burn your memory down
Dm G C
At least you left the matches
[Instrumental]
C F C F
[Verse]
C C/B Am Am/G
The color's old and faded, the cover's worn and stained
F Dm G
But I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside your name
C C/B Am Am/G
Un til tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette
F G C
Now one by one I'm striking them to help me for get
Am G F
And everybody at The Broken Spoke
Am G Dm
Well they all thought my crazy st ory was a joke
Am G
Now they're all out in the parking lot
F
Staring at the (No Chord) smoke
[Chorus]
F
You took the bed
G C
You took the dishes and the car
And you broke my trust
Am Am/G
And you took ad vantage of my heart
F
And you left me here
Dm G F
With empty rooms and walls with holes and scars and scratches
Am Am/G F
If I find the strength to burn your memory down
Dm G C
At least you left the matches
C/B Am Am/G F
Baby, all that's left of our love is ashes
Dm G C
Thank God, you left the matches
