[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
C G
Striking matches an' I'm smokin' cigarettes
F G
Puttin on a kettle, playin' a cassette
C G
Foldin' up the papers, rubbin' my eyes
F G
Thinkin' of all that happened last night
C G
The passion, the feelings that soaked in her love
F G
And the pools of silence where kisses were sprung
C G
Her love levitates me, I'm walking on air
F G
Two feet from the carpet, I'll always be there
[Chorus]
G C G C
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again
G C G C
I look in the mirror, I still look the same
[Verse 2]
C G
Striking matches, getting a flame on the stove
F G
There's some of her hair in the teeth of my comb
C G
Dirty clothes piled up on the bathroom floor
F G
She's silently sleepin', I half close the door
C G
I see her beauty layin' on my bed
F G
I'm warm from within me with what she has said
C G
Her love is my balloon, I won't let it down
F G
For ever and ever I'll always be proud
[Chorus]
G C G C
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again
G C G C
I look in the mirror, I still look the same
G C G G
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again
G C G C
Ooh, I'm striking matches, I go up in flames
[Middle]
G
I'm a director casting for a part
C
(Turn on the light)
G
It's for a soap set here right in my heart
C
(Leave her alone)
G
Shuffle to the window, shuffle to the door
C
(Don't wake her up)
G
She got the part I don't wanna see anymore
C
(Unplug the phone)
[Chorus]
G C G C
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again

I look in the mirror, I still look the same

Ooh, I'm striking matches,
G C G C
Ooh, I'm striking matches, I go up in flames
G C to fade
