[VERSE 1]
She gave me mat[D]ches, seven wooden mat[G]ches
She put them in[D]to a small, slim glass jar with a screw-top [G]lid
I fingered that [D]jar, I put it in my poc[G]ket
She said, "can’t go [D]into the woods without them”, I smiled at her and [G]left

[CHORUS 1]
And I kept them [A]dry, and as [G]long as there were six
I’d be [A]fine, and as [G]long as there were five

[VERSE 2]
Matches in that [D]jar, mile after [G]mile
All the chkk-chkk-[D]chkk, chkk sound of the matches, and the memory of her [G]smile

[D] [G]

[CHORUS 2]
I kept them [A]dry, and as [G]long as there were five
I’d be [A]fine, and as [G]long as there were four

[VERSE 3]
Matches in a [D]jar, with a screw-top [G]lid
I know she did [D]not mean to hurt my feelings, but that’s what she [G]did

[CHORUS 3]
I kept them [A]dry, and as [G]long as there were three
I’d be [A]fine, as [G]long as there were two
Matches in that [D]jar
