Verse 1
GAmBm BmC C
Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands

C C G G Am Am Bm Bm C C
in a phone box, in the pool hall, at the shoe store, every corner turned around

It started with a schoolgirl, who was running, running home to her mum and dad

G G Am Am Bm Bm C C
You see it in the classroom, in the swimming pool, where the matchstick men are made
G G Am Am Bm Bm C C
In the scouts hall, at the football, where the wise we trust are paid
G G Am Am
They all honur his name, he did alot for the game

He got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
G G Am Am Bm Bm
But now there ripping them down, stamping the ground, picture gathers dust
C C
behind the bar in the lounge

But it only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches

It only takes one match, to burn a thousand trees, a thousand trees

His growing seeds dont believe why he's been, yeaah

Verse 4
G G Am Am Bm Bm C C
Away in the schoolyard, change room, playing fields bathroom
G G Am Am Bm Bm C C
Phonebox, office box, every corner turned around,
G G Am Am
They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame,
Bm Bm C C
He got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates,
G G Am Am
But now there ripping them down, stamping the ground,
Bm Bm C C
Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge


Chorus
Am Am Bm Bm C C
But it only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches,
Am Am C C D D
It only takes one match, to burn a thousand treees.
