Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
C  C Am
C  C G

Verse 1:
C                   Am
He's not bulletproof
F             C       G
Don't let him fool you
   C         G
His life is a lie
   Am     C
He's dying inside
        F                 C         G
From the sticks and stones somebody threw

Chorus:
   G              Am
Our tongues are like matches
   F             C
Our ears are like trees
  G               Am
Our words are like sparks
  F          C
On dry summer leaves
   G          Am
It doesn't take much
        F         C
For the flames to rise
   F    C   Am
And turn a soul
F     C
Into a forest fire

Verse 2:
C                   Am
She's not half as strong
F            C         G
As she'd like to let on
   C               G
She smiles but she knows
         Am            C
She can't take one more blow
        F               C             G
From the hate that she's heard for so long

Chorus:
   G                Am
Our tongues are like matches
   F             C
Our ears are like trees
   G              Am
Our words are like sparks
  F          C
On dry summer leaves
  G           Am
It doesn't take much
       F         C
For the flames to rise
   F    C   Am
And turn a soul
F     C           Am
Into a forest fire
      C           G
Into a forest fire

Bridge:
                    C
Be careful what you say
                   Am
Be careful what you say
  C              G
Be careful, mm-mm-mm

Chorus:
   G                Am
Our tongues are like matches
   F             C
Our ears are like trees
   G              Am
Our words are like sparks
  F          C
On dry summer leaves
  G           Am
It doesn't take much
       F         C
For the flames to rise
   Am    C    Am
And turn a soul--
      F    C   G
Oh and turn us all--
      C            Am
Into a forest fire
Am    C      G
Into a forest fire

Outro:
   C       Am
Be careful
                     C   G
