Artist: Passenger
Song: A Thousand Matches

(Based on this recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RncRYO9dbSQ)
One of my live performancesbased on this tab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSTaCu5BFtc&t=3091s
Tuning: Standard, Capo on 4
[Notes]
Tab designed to allow fingerpicking (original) or strumming (simpler)
The Fmaj7 is easiest to play if your thumb holds down the bottom E string
For the Gadd11:
Fingerpicking - notes in brackets are not plucked so you need not hold the strings
Strumming - it will sound more natural to hold the full chord
Suggestion on learning this: learn the two main Riffs and practice them independently before trying to sing at
the same time. When you have mastered the Riffs, it should be quite natural to approach the song by looking
at the lyrics only
[Chords]

For fingerpicking, where I have added notes in brackets, they are optional and can
be taken out for variation.
[Riff 1]
In this riff, only the bottom E of the Em is plucked / strummed

[Intro - Instrumental]
Riff#1 is played three times, Riff#2 once before returning to 2 bars of C
[Verse 1]
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
Lying on the mattress 'cos my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
Sleeping she looked like an actress, in theory and in practice, I said
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
"There's got to be a better way"
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
She said "You light a thousand matches and you finally set fire while you
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
run away
Am Em Fmaj7 G C
So why'd you go and do it when you knew that you would go and I would stay
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
I hit the wall in frustration - the conversation had been circling for days
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11 C ...Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
She said "Don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been supportive in the best of ways"
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
We're laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow
Am Em Fmaj7 G C
For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go.
[Chorus]

She said "Love, you know I love you so; when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
Fmaj7 C G C Fmaj7 C G C
And I said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let 'em go"
[Bridge - Instrumental]
Riff #1*3, Riff #2, 2 bars of C
[Verse 2]
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
She said "I'm gonna take this home for I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
In some faceless hotel room where you seem to lose everything you own"
Am Em Fmaj7 G C
She didn't mean it how it sounded, what she meant was she would stay and I would go
Fmaj7 C G C Fmaj7 C G C
I said "Love, you know I love you so. When you love someone well you've got to let them know

[Refrain]
(Riff#1 *3)
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
Sometimes you tear it all apart
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
to see the wood from the trees.

Sometimes you break your own

(quietly - single plucking / strums)
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
I walked her to the station, hesitation in our movements and our tone
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11
Words finally left after they realized how uncomfortable they'd become
C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11 C Em Fmaj7 Gadd11

Am Em Fmaj7 G C
We reluctantly agreed that when you love someone, you've got to let them go
