Verse 1:
C majorC                G+G
Striking matches an' I'm smokin' cigarettes
       FF           G+G
Puttin on a kettle, playin' a cassette
C majorC                 G+G
Foldin' up the papers, rubbin' my eyes
      FF            G+G
Thinkin' of all that happened last night
C majorC                   G+G
The passion, the feelings that soaked in her love
         FF             G+G
And the pools of silence where kisses were sprung
C majorC                 G+G
Her love levitates me, I'm walking on air
         FF           G+G
Two feet from the carpet, I'll always be there

Chorus:
G+G         C majorC    G+G      C majorC
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again
G+G       C majorC    G+G        C majorC
I look in the mirror, I still look the same

Verse 2:
C majorC                 G+G
Striking matches, getting a flame on the stove
          FF            G+G
There's some of her hair in the teeth of my comb
C majorC               G+G
Dirty clothes piled up on the bathroom floor
        FF             G+G
She's silently sleepin', I half close the door
C majorC            G+G
I see her beauty layin' on my bed
       FF              G+G
I'm warm from within me with what she has said
C majorC                G+G
Her love is my balloon, I won't let it down
       FF          G+G
For ever and ever I'll always be proud

Chorus:
G+G         C majorC    G+G      C majorC
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again
G+G       C majorC    G+G        C majorC
I look in the mirror, I still look the same

Ooh, I'm striking matches, I go up in flames

G+G
I'm a director casting for a part
C majorC
(Turn on the light)
G+G
It's for a soap set here right in my heart
C majorC
(Leave her alone)

Shuffle to the window, shuffle to the door
C majorC
(Don't wake her up)
G+G
She got the part I don't wanna see anymore
C majorC
(Unplug the phone)

I look in the mirror, I still look the same
G+G         C majorC       G+G        C majorC
Ooh, I'm striking matches,
