Intro;  D  Bm  Em  G  A

Verse;
D                           Em           
We met at the Broken Spoke restaurant and lounge
G                             Em                A
I lit your cigarette and you wrote your number down
        D                              Bm
On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar
       G            Em        A             D
And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart

D                                Bm
I didn't see it coming, guess I didn't see 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              Em              A
There was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the 
 D
floor

Chorus;
             G                  Em             A
You took the bed, you took the dishes and the car
                  D                Bm
And you broke my trust, you took advantage of my heart
         A       A  G            Bm    
And you left me here with empty rooms and walls with 
 A    D             G
holes, scars and scratches
Em                        F#m        G            A
If I find the strength to burn your memory down, at least 
               D
you left the matches

Turnaround; D  Bm  Em  G  A

Verse;
D                             Bm
The colors old and faded, the covers worn and stained
           G                                  Em
But I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside 
      A
your name
D                                Bm
Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette
     G              Em               A          D
Now one by one I'm striking them to help me to forget

Bridge; 
     Bm       A              G
And everybody at the Broken Spoke
          Bm              A            G
They all thought my crazy story was a joke
            Bm              A            G
Now they're all out in the parking lot staring at the smoke

Chorus;
Tag;
       Bm               A               G
Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes
       A
Thank god you left the matches

Turnaround; D  Bm  Em  G  A
