Текст песни Passenger - A Thousand Matches

Capo 4

(Picking pattern throughout the entire song. Every first  has a hammer on the  string like below)

Lying on the mattress 'cos my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
Sleeping she looked like an actress, in theory and in practice, I said
"There's got to be a better way"
She said "You light a thousand matches, when you finally set fire,
well you run away"
So why'd you Go and Do it when you knew that you would Go and I would stay

 -  -  - 

I hit the wall in frustration, the conversation had been circling for days
She said "Don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been    
supportive in the best of ways"
We're laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow
For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go.

I said "Love, you know I love you so; when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
And she said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let 'em go"

  She handed me a stone in the  perfect shape of a heart
She said "I'm gonna take this home for I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
In some faceless hotel room you seem to lose everything you own"
She didn't mean it how it sounded, what she meant was she would stay and I would Go

I said "Love, you know I love you so; when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
And she said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let 'em go"

     Sometimes you tear it all apart
     to see the wood from the trees.
                                (quick walk down from  to )
     Sometimes you break your own   heart
        to set yourself free

   I walked her to the station, hesitation in our movements and our tone
Words finally left after they realized how uncomfortable they'd grown
See, what you want and what you need, well they seldomly succeed to grow
We reluctantly agreed, that when you love someone, you've got to let them go
