[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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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

and I'm tired but I'm tryin, this damn world it seems so tough

But theres still hope that I can see and it might just be enough

Takeee your timeee

Cause I'll be waiting, all my life

A matchbook in my pocket, cigarette tar in my lungs

My body.. it don't look that old, but it sure don't feel that young.

too bad the hope I could see was just wasn't enough

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..
