Motel Matches

         C       G                  F
Just an hour ago I didn’t know her name
  G7                                              C      G
A couple of drinks and we naturally struck up a flame
C                                        F
It wasn’t love but then it was plain to see
        G7                                           C
That we were two strangers that were matched perfectly
   C                      G               F
I signed on the line for room 109 at the desk
G7                                     C     G
I told the man that all we needed was rest
C                                        F
He said to me as he slipped a key in my hand
       G7                               C
That’s quite alright Mr. Smith I understand

F
Motel matches that burn in the night
C
Motel matches are so easy to light
         F                                 G7
Just a spark of desire and the fire always catches
F
Motel matches we’re two of a kind
C
We know tomorrow they’ll wake up and find
         F                                                    G7
We’ll be gone with the dawn and they’ll come to sweep out the ashes
         C
Of motel matches

C                     G                  F
I close the door and she headed for the car
G7                                             C     G
Warm tangled sheets were all that left of our fire
  C                                           F
I said with a grin to do this again would be nice
    G7                                         C
But we both knew that a match can never burn twice
