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 G C G C I look in the mirror, I still look the same G C G C Ooh, I'm striking matches, G C G C Ooh, I'm striking matches, I go up in flames
