The Match

|Am |Am |Em
1. There’s a room where she kept all her dolls.
|Em |G |G |Dm |Dm
They covered the floor and the walls and she talked to them there.
|Am |Am |Em
By the pool she would always attract
|Em |G |G |Dm |Dm
all the guys who were out on their backs with her towel rapped.
|F |F |Am
Now did she know that she caught all the eyes in town,
|Am |Em |F
watching her walking around?
|C |C |G
Refr. She was the match that would strike up a light
|G |Dm |Dm
and the day that said hi to the night
|F |F
and she was bowling me down and I was praying.
|C |C |G
As I struggled to stand on my feet
|G |Dm |Dm
I walked tall with her there on the street
|F |F
but as the earth spun around, hope was fading.
Intro.
2. There was a room where I kept all my things,
baseball caps fraternity rings and I played my guitar.
With her picture pinned up on the wall
I stood there to see where I’d fall.
|Csus4 C (x4) |Fsus4 F (x4) |Gsus4 G (x4)
Refr. + hope was fading.
Refr.2 In our rooms there are thoughts that divide
all those feelings that harbored inside.
Am I sinking too deep with what I’m saying?
All the words they got caught in my head
had no order in how they were said.
|F |F |C
Am I really a creep? Hope is fading.
