Love Match

• E

E 
The crowd had gathered  
                    B                              E 
They heard the word that pretty soon I'd be losing her 
E 
They stood in line just to see 
B                               E 
The work that she would make of me 
A 
They held their breath  whispered low 
B 
Waiting for that final blow 
A 
They called her  name she was picked to win 
B 
As we walked out into the ring 
       E                         A 
In the first round  she broke my heart 
       E                          B 
In the second round  she tore it  apart 
       E                          A 
In the third round  I was  on the ropes 
       E                            B 
In the forth round I didn't have a hope 
B 
The thing she said in the final bout 
A                  B 
Laid me low really knocked me out 
B 
She waved to the  crowd without a scratch 
    A                            B     E 
The heartache  champion of this love match 
E   B    E              B 
Mmm love match    mmmm  love match 
E 
They called for blood and  wanted  more 
B                            E 
They picked me up off of the floor 
E 
My head  was spinning 
 
I staggered round 
B                             E 
I couldn't  stand for falling down 
A 
The lights were dimmed I heard them say 
B 
You can't make it anyway 
A 
I was game  I climbed back in  
B                         E 
I tried to  win her back again 
E                              A 
In the first round she hurt me bad 
       E                              B 
In the second round I couldn't handle that 
        E                     A 
In the third  round I almost died 
       E                                  B 
In the forth round I saw that look in her eyes  
B 
I knew right then how it would be 
A                      B 
She turned and  walked away from me 
 
I shouted fair and square there ain't no catch 
          A                          B    E  
She's the heartache champion  of the love match 
     B    E             B 
Mmm love match    mmmm  love match
