verse 1
 C                                                       Em  F7M                                         C 
Lying on the mattress 'cos my friend's crazy sister took my bed away

                 C                                                         Em  F7M 
Sleeping she looked like an actress, in theory and in practice, I said
                   C                                               Em  F7MG(11) 
"There's got to be a better way"
                               C                                                         Em   F7M 
She said "You light a thousand matches when you finally set fire while you

run away
       Am                             Em     F7M                             G                                                       C 
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
                        C 
verse 2
She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
