	        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
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

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..
