CAPO 3
C G Am F
VERSE 1
(F) C G
I could catch just like a candle melt myself down to an end
Am F
and have no way of ever coming back round here again
C G Am
or I could glow just like an amber rising out of an autumn fire
F
drifting to the heavens floating higher and higher
Am G
you better hide your matches, boy
C G Am
I could sparkle like thin white paper wrapped tight round some cigarette
F
and leave nothing but the smell of smoke and the bitter taste of regret
C G Am
or I could get hot like them coals that turn the water into steam
F
and fall down around you like some misty morning
Am G
you better hide your matches, boy
Am F
you better hide your matches, boy, oh
CHORUS
C G Am
cause I'm bound to lose all I am right here in your arms
F
and it ain't gonna take much
C
and it ain't gonna take long
G Am
so you best turn your eyes if youre not ready tonight
F
to watch me burn like this
C F
you better hide your matches
VERSE 2
C
cause I can't afford to let you go
G Am
I'm afraid to draw you near
F
cause I could get so lost in you that I might dissapear
C
and the words are on the tip of my tongue
G Am
but you wont hear a sound
F
cause once that fire gets going, there's no way to slow it down
Am G
you better hide your matches, boy
Am F G Am F
you better hide your matches, boy yeah
CHORUS
(F) Am
you better hide your matches, boy
G
oh yeah
Am F C
you better hide your matches, boy
END
