Hide Your Matches Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

C G Am F

Verse 1

F I could Ccatch just like a candle melt Gmyself down to an end

and Amhave no way of ever coming Fback round here again

or I could Cglow just like an amber rising Gout of an autumn fire Am

drifting to the heavens floating Fhigher and higher

you better hideAm your matches, boy G

I could Csparkle like thin white paper wrapped tight Ground some cigarette Am

and leave nothing but the smell of smoke and the Fbitter taste of regret

or I could Cget hot like them coals that turn the Gwater into steam Am

and fall down around you like some Fmisty morning

you better hideAm your matches, boy G

you better hideAm your matches, boy,F oh

Chorus

cause CI'm bound to lose allG I am right here in your Amarms

and it ain't gonna take Fmuch

and it ain't gonna take Clong

so you best turn your Geyes if youre not ready toAmnight

to watch me burn like Fthis

you better hide your Cmatches F

Verse 2

cause I Ccan't afford to let you go

I'm afGraid to draw you near Am

cause I could get so lost in you that FI might dissapear

and the Cwords are on the tip of my tongue

but Gyou wont hear a sound Am

cause once that fire gets going, there's no Fway to slow it down

you better hideAm your matches, boy G

you better hideAm your matches, Fboy G Am F yeah

Chorus

yFou better hide your Ammatches, boy

ohG yeah

you better hideAm your Fmatches, boy C
