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 didn?t see it coming Guess I didn?t read 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                              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 cover?s worn and stained 
            G                                 Em                A  
But I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside your name 
D                                Bm 
Until tonight they?d only lit a single cirgarette 
     G                               A         D 
Now one by one I?m 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 they?re all in the parking lot staring at the smoke 
go to chorus, then to ending. 
ENDING: 
          Bm             A                G 
Baby all that?s left of our love now is ashes 
Em                       D 
Thank God you left the matches
