Chords with lyrics
C majorC G+G A minorAm FF
VERSE 1
(FF) C majorC G+G
I could catch just like a candle melt myself down to an end
A minorAm FF
And have no way of ever coming back round here again
C majorC G+G A minorAm
Or I could glow just like an amber rising out of an autumn fire
FF
Drifting to the heavens floating higher and higher
A minorAm G+G
You better hide your matches, boy
C majorC G+G A minorAm
I could sparkle like thin white paper wrapped tight round some cigarette
FF
And leave nothing but the smell of smoke and the bitter taste of regret
C majorC G+G A minorAm
Or I could get hot like them coals that turn the water into steam
FF
And fall down around you like some misty morning
A minorAm G+G
You better hide your matches, boy
A minorAm FF
You better hide your matches, boy, oh
CHORUS
C majorC G+G A minorAm
Cause I'm bound to lose all I am right here in your arms
FF
And it ain't gonna take much
C majorC
And it ain't gonna take long
G+G A minorAm
So you best turn your eyes if youre not ready tonight
FF
To watch me burn like this
C majorC FF
You better hide your matches
VERSE 2
C majorC
Cause I can't afford to let you go
G+G A minorAm
I'm afraid to draw you near
FF
Cause I could get so lost in you that I might dissapear
C majorC
And the words are on the tip of my tongue
G+G A minorAm
But you wont hear a sound
FF
Cause once that fire gets going, there's no way to slow it down
A minorAm G+G
You better hide your matches, boy
A minorAm FF G+G A minorAm FF
You better hide your matches, boy yeah
CHORUS
(FF) A minorAm
you better hide your matches, boy
G+G
Oh yeah
A minorAm FF C majorC
You better hide your matches, boy
END
