[Intro]
G D G
[Verse 1]
G G7 C G
She found a womans name and number in a matchbook in my coat
G D
In an instant my whole world went up in smoke
G G7
Now the trust that took so long to build
C G
Is just cinders on the ground
D G
And a little book of matches burned it down
[Verse 2]
G G7 C G
A corner lot a red brick house a foundation set in stone
G D
It took two people ten good years to make it a home
G C G
I can't believe the love we had is all just ashes now
D G
And a little book of matches burned it down
[Chorus 1]
C G D G
Like a fool I played with fire and now there's only me to blame
A7 C F D
And I just stood there helpless as our love went up in flames
G G7 C G
Everything we built together is cold as cinders on the ground
D G
And a little book of matches burned it down
[Instrumental]
G G7 C G D
G G7 C G D G
[Chorus 2]
C G D G
Like a fool I played with fire and now there's only me to blame
A7 C F D
And I just stood there helpless as our love went up in flames
G G7 C G
Everything we built together is cold as cinders on the ground
D Em C
And a little book of matches burned it down
G D G
Yeah a little book of matches burned it down
