John Hiland - Matchbook In My Pocket(Chords)

	        Intro 

Em                      G 
Matchbook in my pocket, cigarette behind my ear 
D                                    C 
I don't know what I'd do without you in this life my dear 
Em                                     G 
Cause you opened up my eyes and ears so I could see you dance 
D                       C 
Hear your pretty laugh and take you hand in hand 

Verse 1:

Em                                    G 
I know your mind is troubled and them thoughts ain't comin slow 
   D                             C 
I'm beggin on my knees babe just listen before you go 
     Em                               G 
and I'm tired but I'm tryin, this damn world it seems so tough 
  D                                        C 
But theres still hope that I can see and it might just be enough 



 Em                        G 
A matchbook in my pocket, cigarette hangin from my lip 
 D                           C 
Burnin down the ashes to a habit I still ain't kicked 
 Em                                         G 
Them subtle tokes makes whisps of smoke that cloud my simple mind 
 D                              C 
I get most things have endings, but I dont think it's time 

Verse 2:

Em                                    G 
I know your mind is troubled and them thoughts ain't comin slow 
   D                             C 
I'm beggin on my knees babe just listen before you go 
     Em                               G 
and I'm tired but I'm tryin, this damn world it seems so tough 
  D                                        C 
But theres still hope that I can see and it might just be enough

I know your mind is troubled and them thoughts ain't comin slow 
   D                             C 
I'm beggin on my knees babe just listen before you go 
     Em                               G 
and I'm tired but I'm tryin, this damn world it seems so tough 
  D                                        C 
But theres still hope that I can see and it might just be enough 

Bridge:

Em      G         G 
Takeee your timeee 
Em      G         G 
Finddd your rymeee 
Em           G         D       C 
Cause I'll be waiting, all my life 



 Em                          G 
A matchbook in my pocket, cigarette tar in my lungs 
 D                                     C 
My body.. it don't look that old, but it sure don't feel that young. 
 Em                                   G 
I'm tired and I'm tryin but this damn world it seems so tough. 
 D                                C 
too bad the hope I could see was just wasn't enough 

Outro 

 Em                                      G 
Well you ran away and I'm to blame, that'll just have to be okay 
 D                                              C 
because theres nothing more that I can say that you'd listen to anyway 
 Em                       G 
I'm tired and I've tried, this world it is so tough 
 D                                C                            Em 
Turns out the hope I could see really wasn't all that much..
