CAPO 3
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
VERSE 1
[(F)] I could [C]catch just like a candle melt [G]myself down to an end
and [Am]have no way of ever coming [F]back round here again
or I could [C]glow just like an amber rising [G]out of an autumn fire[Am]
drifting to the heavens floating [F]higher and higher
you better hide[Am] your matches, boy [G]
I could [C]sparkle like thin white paper wrapped tight [G]round some cigarette[Am]
and leave nothing but the smell of smoke and the [F]bitter taste of regret
or I could [C]get hot like them coals that turn the [G]water into steam[Am]
and fall down around you like some [F]misty morning
you better hide[Am] your matches, boy[G]
you better hide[Am] your matches, boy,[F] oh
CHORUS
cause [C]I'm bound to lose all[G] I am right here in your [Am]arms
and it ain't gonna take [F]much
and it ain't gonna take [C]long
so you best turn your [G]eyes if youre not ready to[Am]night
to watch me burn like [F]this
you better hide your [C]matches[F]
VERSE 2
cause I [C]can't afford to let you go
I'm af[G]raid to draw you near[Am]
cause I could get so lost in you that [F]I might dissapear
and the [C]words are on the tip of my tongue
but [G]you wont hear a sound[Am]
cause once that fire gets going, there's no [F]way to slow it down
you better hide[Am] your matches, boy[G]
you better hide[Am] your matches, [F]boy [G] [Am] [F] yeah
CHORUS
[(F)]you better hide your [Am]matches, boy
oh[G] yeah
you better hide[Am] your [F]matches, boy[C]
