WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Sammy Kershaw - At Least You Left The Matches Chords | Ver. 1
[Intro]
G Em C D
[Verse 1]
G
We met at the Broken Spoke
Em
restaurant and lounge
C
I lit your cigarette
D7 D
Then you wrote your number down
G
On the inside of a matchbook
Em
that was laying on the bar
C
And a fire started burning
D7 D G
somewhere in my heart
G
I didn't see it coming
Em
guess I didn't read the signs
C
I just never thought you'ld leave me
D7 D
after all this time
G
But today when I came home
Em
my key was hollow in the door
C
There was nothin' but a worn out
D7 D G
book of matches on the floor
[Chorus]
C
You took the bed
D7 D
you took the dishes and the car
G
You broke my trust
D7 D
and you took advantage of my heart
C
And you left me here
Em D
with empty rooms and walls with holes
C
and scares and scratches
Em D C
If I find the strength to burn your memory down
D7 D G
At least you left the matches
[Verse 2]
G
The colors old and faded
Em
the covers worn and stained
C
But I can still make out the numbers
D7 D
and the heart beside your name
G
Until tonight they'd only
Em
lit a single cigarette
C
Now one-by-one I'm striking them
D G
to help me to forget
Em D C
And everybody at the Broken Spoke
Em D C
Well they all thought my crazy story was a joke
Em D
Now they're all out in the parking lot
C
staring at the smoke
[Chorus]
C
You took the bed
D7 D
you took the dishes and the car
G
You broke my trust
D7 D
and you took advantage of my heart
C
And you left me here
Em D
with empty rooms and walls with holes
C
and scares and scratches
Em D C
Now I've found the strength to burn your memory down
D7 D G
Oh, at least you left the matches
Em D C
Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes
D G
Thank God you left the matches
[Outro]
Em D7 G
