Intro: (C)  (F)  (C)  (F) 
 
(C) We met at The Broken (C/B) Spoke (Am) Restaurant and (Am/G) Lounge 
I (F) lit your cigarette, then you (Dm) wrote your number (G) down 
On the (C) inside of a matchbook (C/B) that was (Am) layin' on the bar (Am/G) 
And a (F) fire started burning (G) somewhere in my (C) heart 
 
I (C) didn't see it comin', (C/B) guess I (Am) didn't read the signs (Am/G) 
I just (F) never thought you'd leave me (Dm) after all this (G) time 
But to(C)day when I came home, (Am/G) my key was (Am) hollow in the (Am/G) door 
And there was (F) nothin' but a worn out book of (G) matches on the fl(C)oor 
 
You took the (F) bed 
You took the (G) dishes and the (C) car 
And you broke my trust 
And you took ad(Am)vantage of my (Am/G) heart 
And you left me (F) here 
With empty (Dm) rooms and walls with (G) holes and (F) scars and scratches 
If I (Am) find the strength to (Am/G) burn your (F) memory down 
(Dm) At (G) least you left (C) the matches 
 
Repeat Intro 
 
The (C) color's old and faded, (C/B) the (Am) cover's worn and stained (Am/G) 
But I can (F) still make out the numbers and the (Dm) heart beside your (G) name 
Un(C)til tonight they'd only (C/B) lit a (Am) single cigarette (Am/G) 
Now (F) one by one I'm striking them to (G) help me for(C)get 
 
And (Am) everybody (G) at The Broken (F) Spoke 
Well they all (Am) thought my crazy st(G)ory was a (Dm) joke 
Now they're (Am) all out in the (G) parking lot 
(F) Staring at the (No Chord) smoke 
 
You took the (F) bed 
You took the (G) dishes and the (C) car 
And you broke my trust 
And you took ad(Am)vantage of my (Am/G) heart 
And you left me (F) here 
With empty (Dm) rooms and walls with (G) holes and (F) scars and scratches 
If I (Am) find the strength to (Am/G) burn your (F) memory down 
(Dm) At (G) least you left (C) the matches 
 
(C/B) Baby, (Am) all that's left of (Am/G) our love is (F) ashes 
(Dm) Thank (G) God, you left (C) the matches 
 
Repeat Intro
