Passenger – A Thousand Matches (Ukulele)

                               A              B             E        A B
Lying on a mattress cause my friend's crazy sister took my bed away

       E                                 A           B
Sleeping she looked like an actress in theory and in practice

               E                       A B
I said there's got to be a better way

               E
She said you light a thousand matches

            A         B             E         A B
When you finally set fire will you run away?

    C#m           G#m
So why'd you go and do it

          A                  B                    E B
When you knew that you would go and I would stay?

           E                           A                  B            E   A B
I hit the wall in frustration, the conversation had been circling for days

                 E                          A               B
She said don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been

   E                            A B
Supportive in the best of ways

         E                       A      B           E
We're laughing and crying like madmen dying in the snow

              C#m           G#m        A                       B          E
For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go

            A         E
And I said love, you know, I love you so

          A       E                  B
When you love someone well you've gotta let 'em know

            A          E         B           E
She said "Nothing's changed, I love you the same

          A              E
When you love someone, sometimes you gotta let 'em go"

                              A           B       E    A B
She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart

              E
She said I'm gonna take this home

       A                B                  E         A B
For I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark

          E
In some faceless hotel room

      A            B             E
You seem to lose everything you own

            C#m             G#m
She didn't mean it how it sounded

          A                     B              E
What she meant was she would stay and I would go

            A         E        B       E
And I said love, you know, I love you so

          A      E                 B             E
When you love someone well you've gotta let 'em know

           A          E
She said "Nothing's changed

   B            E
I love you the same

           A
When you love someone

  E             B           E
Sometimes you gotta let 'em go"

  A             B           E
Sometimes you tear it all apart

    A        B             E
To see the wood from the trees

   A            B            E   C#m A
Sometimes you break your own heart

    B          E
To set yourself free

  A                  B               E   A B
Hesitation in our movements and our tone

  E                       A  B
Words finally left after realizing

                           E    A B
How uncomfortable they'd grown

               E
See, what you want and what you need, well

       A       B          E   A B
They seldomly succeed to grow

      C#m        G#m                 A
We reluctantly agreed that when you love someone

     B            E
You gotta let them go
