Hide Your Matches chords by Julianne Hough

• Capo on 3rd

C G Am F

VERSE 1
(F)        C                             G
   I could catch just like a candle melt myself down to an end
     Am                            F
And have no way of ever coming back round here again

            C                                G                       Am
Or I could glow just like an amber rising out of an autumn fire

                                  F
Drifting to the heavens floating higher and higher

                Am                     G
You better hide your matches, boy

         C                                             G                      Am
I could sparkle like thin white paper wrapped tight round some cigarette

                                                  F
And leave nothing but the smell of smoke and the bitter taste of regret

            C                                       G                  Am
Or I could get hot like them coals that turn the water into steam

                                    F
And fall down around you like some misty morning

                Am                    G
You better hide your matches, boy

                Am                    F
You better hide your matches, boy, oh


CHORUS

       C                      G                          Am
Cause I'm bound to lose all I am right here in your arms

                         F
And it ain't gonna take much

                         C
And it ain't gonna take long

                       G                           Am
So you best turn your eyes if youre not ready tonight

                       F
To watch me burn like this

                      C         F
You better hide your matches


VERSE 2

         C
Cause I can't afford to let you go

       G                       Am
I'm afraid to draw you near

                                       F
Cause I could get so lost in you that I might dissapear

         C
And the words are on the tip of my tongue

     G                       Am
But you wont hear a sound

                                             F
Cause once that fire gets going, there's no way to slow it down

                Am                    G
You better hide your matches, boy

                Am                F     G   Am    F
You better hide your matches, boy         yeah


CHORUS

(F)                  Am
you better hide your matches, boy
   G
Oh yeah

                Am       F              C
You better hide your matches, boy
