Moe Bandy - Motel matches

^CJust an hour ago I ^Fdidn’t know her ^Cname A ^G7couple of drinks and we naturally struck up a ^Cflame

It wasn’t love but ^Fthen it was plain to ^Csee That we ^G7were two strangers that were matched per^Cfectly

I signed on the line ^Ffor room 109 at the ^Cdesk I ^G7told the man that all we needed was ^Crest

He said to me as he ^Fslipped a key in my ^Chand That’s ^G7quite alright Mr. Smith I under^Cstand

Motel matches that ^Fburn in the night ^CMotel matches are ^Fso easy to light

^CJust a spark of ^Fdesire and the fire always ^G7catches

^CMotel matches we’re ^Ftwo of a kind ^CWe know tomorrow they’ll ^Fwake up and find

^CWe’ll be gone with the dawn and they’ll ^Fcome to sweep out the ^G7ashes Of motel ^Cmatches

I close the door and ^Fshe headed for the ^Ccar Warm ^G7tangled sheets were all that left of our ^Cfire

I said with a grin to ^Fdo this again would be ^Cnice But we ^G7both knew that a match can never burn ^Ctwice
