Format – Matches chords
Chords:
SONG: "Matches"/"I'm Actual" ARTIST: The Format ALBUM: Dog Problems TABBED BY: Brandon Karcic Played in standard tuning, but tuning it down is possible. I like to play it a full step down, to make the high notes in "I'm Actual" more singable. ------------------------------------------- Chords -C-|-C/B-|-Am-|-Fmaj7-|-D7-|-0-|--0--|-0--|--0--|-0-|-1-|--1--|-1--|--1--|-1-|-0-|--0--|-2--|--2--|-2-|-2-|--0--|-2--|--3--|-0-|-3-|--2--|-0--|--0--|-0-|-x-|--x--|-x--|--x--|-x-|Intro: C - C/B - Am - C/BC C/B Am C/B Ashes to ashes, some dust on the dashC C/B Am C/BI got my cigarettesFmaj7 Am D7 Am But I can't find the fire, it's calming me downC C/B Am C/BC C/B Am C/B I was just out on a night with my friendsC C/B Am C/B You are still out on a night with your friendsFmaj7 Am D7 Am C C/B Am C/BAnd you don't seem to tire when I'm not aroundG F C C/B Am C/BI'm under the tunnel, I'm holding my breathC C/B Am C/BC C/B Am C/BI searched every pocket that hung in the closetC C/B Am C/BUntil I found some matches in a brown leather jacketFmaj7 Am D7 Am C C/B Am C/BOne I swore I'd never worn, but it once kept you warmG F C C/B Am C/BDo you remember we made love on the floor?Fmaj7 Am D7 AmAnd you still haven't calledFmaj7 Am D7 AmSo I wait until they're closing the barsC C/B Am C/B G F C (Let this one ring) I made a wish but the match never lit (That's the end of "Matches", then starts "I'm Actual") ----------------------------------------CCan we take the next hourC/Band talk about meC/B Am Talk about me, and we'll talk about meAm G CTalk about me, and we'll only talk about meC Can we please take this hourC/Band talk about meC/B Am and my hatred for corporate magazinesAm Gyou know they don't speak to meF G G Am C/B CThe irony is they won't speak with meC(I'm Actual, I'm Actual...)VERSE 2F G Am GI placed you on a windowsillF G Am GCut notches up and down the doorF G Am GMy surprise, I woke up one mornF G C (hold)In our bed, In your place lay a note; It read:(The next part uses simple bar chord shapes, like so.) ----A----Ab/A---G-----F#G-------D|--7------6-----5------4----------------------------|A|--7------7-----5------5----------------------------|E|--5------4-----3------2----------------------------|Am Ab/A G F#/GBaby your love it just ain't good enoughF G CI found sunlight six hours awayAm Ab/A G F#/G (let ring)You watered me down 'til I drifted aboundF G CSomewhere far from your shadeF G Am GNow I shadow my former selfF G Am GOnce holy, now lonely; a chest full ofF G Am Gholes; Red wax, it paints me unclearF G when the big hand strikes twelveC (let ring) I disappearAm Ab/A G F#/Gand the angels are fake and they'll lie to your faceF G CAnything to keep you awayAm Ab/A G F#/GYou watered me down 'til I drifted aboundG G G G SOLO SECTION Am Ab/A G F#/G F G C Am Ab/A G F#/GGIt's time I accept the factThat you on your back has buried the pastCCan we take the next hourC/Band talk about meC/B Am Talk about me, and we'll talk about meAm G CTalk about me, and we'll only talk about meC Can we please take this hourC/Band talk about meC/B Am and my hatred for corporate magazinesAm Gyou know they don't speak to meF G G Am C/B C (let the last chord ring!)The irony is they won't speak with me---------------------------------- That's it!
