[Intro]
G C G C

[Verse 1]
C                                                 G
Striking matches an' I'm smokin' cigarettes
                    F                           G
Puttin on a kettle, playin' a cassette
C                                                   G
Foldin' up the papers, rubbin' my eyes
                  F                                   G
Thinkin' of all that happened last night
C                                                         G
The passion, the feelings that soaked in her love
                             F                                        G
And the pools of silence where kisses were sprung
C                                                   G
Her love levitates me, I'm walking on air
                              F                                G
Two feet from the carpet, I'll always be there

[Chorus]
G                         C              G                C
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again
G                  C          G                     C
I look in the mirror, I still look the same

[Verse 2]
C                                                   G
Striking matches, getting a flame on the stove
                                 F                                  G
There's some of her hair in the teeth of my comb
C                                            G
Dirty clothes piled up on the bathroom floor
                       F                                   G
She's silently sleepin', I half close the door
C                                 G
I see her beauty layin' on my bed
                         F                                            G
I'm warm from within me with what she has said
C                                              G
Her love is my balloon, I won't let it down
                     F                             G
For ever and ever I'll always be proud

[Chorus]
G                         C              G                C
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again
G                  C          G                     C
I look in the mirror, I still look the same
G                         C              G                 G
Ooh, I'm striking matches, it's mornin' again
G                         C             G               C
Ooh, I'm striking matches, I go up in flames

[Middle]
G
I'm a director casting for a part
C
(Turn on the light)
G
It's for a soap set here right in my heart
C
(Leave her alone)
G
Shuffle to the window, shuffle to the door
C
(Don't wake her up)
G
She got the part I don't wanna see anymore
C
(Unplug the phone)

[Ulangi Chorus]
