D Bm
We met at the Broken Spoke restaurant and lounge
G Em A
I lit your cigarette then you wrote your number down
D Bm
On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar
G A D
And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart
D Bm
I didnt see it coming Guess I didnt read the signs
G Em A
I just never thought youd leave me after all this time
D Bm
But today when I came home my key was hollow in the door
G A D
There was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the floor
CHORUS:
G A D
You took the bed you took the dishes and the car
Bm
And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart
Em G A
And you left me here with empty rooms and walls with holes
G
scars and scrat-ches 1.)If I find the strength to burn your memory down
2.)Now I found
Em D
(2. Oh) At least you left the matches
D Bm
The colors are old and faded The covers worn and stained
G Em A
But I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside your name
D Bm
Until tonight theyd only lit a single cirgarette
G A D
Now one by one Im striking them to help me forget
Bm A G
And everybody at the Broken Spoke
Bm A Em
They all thought my crazy story was a joke
Bm A G
Now theyre all in the parking lot staring at the smoke
go to chorus, then to ending.
ENDING:
Bm A G
Baby all thats left of our love now is ashes
Em D
Thank God you left the matches
