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/B C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1)C/B (x2555x@1) Ashes to ashes, some dust on the dash C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1)C/BI (x2555x@1)got my cigarettes Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Am (x02210@1) D7 (xx0212@1) Am (x02210@1) But I can't find the fire, it's calming me down C C/B Am C/B C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1) C/B (x2555x@1)I was just out on a night with my friends C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1) C/B (x2555x@1) You are still out on a night with your friends Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Am (x02210@1) D7 (xx0212@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1) C/BAnd (x2555x@1)you don't seem to tire when I'm not around G (320003@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1) C/BI'm (x2555x@1)under the tunnel, I'm holding my breath C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1) C/B (x2555x@1)C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1) C/BI (x2555x@1)searched every pocket that hung in the closet C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1) C/BUntil (x2555x@1)I found some matches in a brown leather jacket Fmaj7 (1x3210@1)Am (x02210@1) D7 (xx0212@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1) C/BOne (x2555x@1)I swore I'd never worn, but it once kept you warm G (320003@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) C/B (x2555x@1) Am (x02210@1) C/BDo (x2555x@1)you remember we made love on the floor?
