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