Motel Matches chords by Moe Bandy

C                  F               C
Just an hour ago I didn?t know her name

  G7                                            C
A couple of drinks and we naturally struck up a flame

                   F                    C
It wasn?t love but then it was plain to see

        G7                                      C
That we were two strangers that were matched perfectly


                     F                   C
I signed on the line for room 109 at the desk

  G7                                  C
I told the man that all we needed was rest

                    F                   C
He said to me as he slipped a key in my hand

       G7                             C
That?s quite alright Mr. Smith I understand


                   F
Motel matches that burn in the night

C                 F
Motel matches are so easy to light

C               F                          G7
Just a spark of desire and the fire always catches


C                   F
Motel matches we?re two of a kind

C                        F
We know tomorrow they?ll wake up and find

C                                       F                     G7
We?ll be gone with the dawn and they?ll come to sweep out the ashes

         C
Of motel matches


                     F                  C
I close the door and she headed for the car

     G7                                       C
Warm tangled sheets were all that left of our fire

                      F                      C
I said with a grin to do this again would be nice

       G7                                    C
But we both knew that a match can never burn twice
