Hide Your Matches Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

C G Am F

Verse 1

  F I could Ccatch just like a candle melt Gmyself down to an end

 and Amhave no way of ever coming Fback round here again

 or I could Cglow just like an amber rising Gout of an autumn fire Am

 drifting to the heavens floating Fhigher and higher

 you better hideAm your matches, boy G

 I could Csparkle like thin white paper wrapped tight Ground some cigarette Am

 and leave nothing but the smell of smoke and the Fbitter taste of regret

 or I could Cget hot like them coals that turn the Gwater into steam Am

 and fall down around you like some Fmisty morning

 you better hideAm your matches, boy G

 you better hideAm your matches, boy,F oh

Chorus

 cause CI'm bound to lose allG I am right here in your Amarms

 and it ain't gonna take Fmuch

 and it ain't gonna take Clong

 so you best turn your Geyes if youre not ready toAmnight

 to watch me burn like Fthis

 you better hide your Cmatches F

Verse 2

 cause I Ccan't afford to let you go

 I'm afGraid to draw you near Am

 cause I could get so lost in you that FI might dissapear

 and the Cwords are on the tip of my tongue

 but Gyou wont hear a sound Am

 cause once that fire gets going, there's no Fway to slow it down

 you better hideAm your matches, boy G

 you better hideAm your matches, Fboy G Am F yeah

Chorus

 yFou better hide your Ammatches, boy

 ohG yeah

 you better hideAm your Fmatches, boy C

END
