Biography:
Striking Matches is an American duo consisting of guitarists/songwriters Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis.
Zimmermann, a Philadelphia native and Davis, from Atlanta, met when a professor at Belmont University paired them at random to play for a classroom full of guitar majors. The pair has been writing and performing ever since. Their influences range from Jerry Reed to the Beatles, John Mayer to Patsy Cline, and back again.
It becomes more obvious every day that they were born to play music together.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I did this by ear, and I think I'm pretty close. I bar all of them, and focus on the bass notes,
and it sounds right to me that way.
I think they actually add a weird Em in there, but I can't make it sound good.
Oh! also- Am and F#m both sound good in the chorus, I use them interchangeably.
Intro: Bm F#m Gm Am
[Verse 1]
Bm F#m
Don't hang up
Gm Am Bm
I just wanted to hear your voice
F#m Gm Am
I know we said we'd give it some time
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gm Am
I don't want to start a fire
Gm F#m
And I don't want to start a fight
[Chorus]
Bm Am Gm
I was just missing you tonight (2x)
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m Gm
Forgive me if I come off too strong
Am
I really don't mean to
Bm F#m Gm
I know you're right, and we're wrong
Am
This can never work
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Gm Am
And I don't want to start a fire
Gm F#m
And I don't want to start a fight
[Chorus]
Bm Am Gm
I was just missing you tonight (2x)
Bm Am
I was just missing you
Gm
Wishing you were here
F#m
And I don't know why
Bm Am Gm
I was just missing you tonight
[Instrumental]
Bm F#m Gm Am
Bm F#m Gm--- (Hold for one extra bar)
[Pre-Chorus 3]

It'll burn us every time
[Chorus]
