Song: At Least You Left The Matches
Artist: Sammy Kershaw
Album: Labor of Love
Intro: D Bm G Asus A
(D) We met at the Broken Spoke
(Bm) restaurant and lounge
I (G) lit your cigarette
then you (A7sus) wrote your number down (A7)
On the (D) inside of a matchbook
that was (Bm) laying on the bar
And a (G) fire started burning
(Asus7) somewhere (A) in my (D) heart
I (D) didn't see it coming
guess I (Bm) didn't read the signs
I just (G) never thought you'ld leave me
(A7sus) after all this time (A7)
But (D) today when I came home
my key was (Bm) hollow in the door
There was (G) nothin' but a worn out
book of (A7sus) matches (A) on the (D) floor
You took the (G) bed
you took the (A7sus) dishes and the (A7) car
You broke my (D) trust (D2)(D)
and you took (Am7) advantage of my (Am7/D) heart
And you left me (G) here
with empty (Bm) rooms and walls with (A) holes
and scares and (G) scratches
If I (Bm) find the strength to (A) burn your memory (G) down
(A7sus) At (A) least you left the (D) matches
Bm G A7sus A
The (D) colors old and faded
the (Bm) covers worn and stained
But I can (G) still make out the numbers
and the (A7sus) heart beside your (A) name
Until (D) tonight they'd only
lit a (Bm) single cigarette
Now (G) one-by-one I'm striking them
to (A) help me to (D) forget
And (Bm) everybody (A) at the Broken (G) Spoke
Well they all (Bm) thought my crazy (A) story was a (G) joke
Now they're (Bm) all out in the (A) parking lot
(G) staring at the smoke
You took the (G) bed
you took the (A7sus) dishes and the (A7/B) car
You broke my (D) trust (D2)(D)
and you took (Am7) advantage of my (Am7/D) heart
And you left me (G) here
with empty (Bm) rooms and walls with (A) holes
and scares and (G) scratches
Now I've (Bm) found the strength to (A) burn your memory (G) down
(A7sus) Oh, at (A) least you left the (D) matches
Baby (Bm) all that's left of (A) our love now is (G) ashes
(A) Thank God you left the (D) matches Bm A7sus D
ooo ooo oo o oo o o oo o ooo o

This is the first song I've ever tab'd. I enjoy this song
so much I had to share it ... and I'll be doing more!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official KERSHAW SAMMY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
