None of them
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.

Intro:
C - C/B - Am - C/B
C C/B Am C/B
Ashes to ashes, some dust on the dash
C C/B Am C/B
I got my cigarettes
Fmaj7 Am D7 Am
But I can't find the fire, it's calming me down
C C/B Am C/B
C C/B Am C/B
I was just out on a night with my friends
C C/B Am C/B
You are still out on a night with your friends
Fmaj7 Am D7 Am C C/B Am C/B
And you don't seem to tire when I'm not around
G F C C/B Am C/B
I'm under the tunnel, I'm holding my breath
C C/B Am C/B
C C/B Am C/B
I searched every pocket that hung in the closet
C C/B Am C/B
Until I found some matches in a brown leather jacket
Fmaj7 Am D7 Am C C/B Am C/B
One I swore I'd never worn, but it once kept you warm
G F C C/B Am C/B
Do you remember we made love on the floor?
Fmaj7 Am D7 Am
And you still haven't called
Fmaj7 Am D7 Am
So I wait until they're closing the bars
C 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")
C
Can we take the next hour
C/B
and talk about me
C/B Am
Talk about me, and we'll talk about me
Am G C
Talk about me, and we'll only talk about me
C
Can we please take this hour
C/B
and talk about me
C/B Am
and my hatred for corporate magazines
Am G
you know they don't speak to me
F G G Am C/B C
The irony is they won't speak with me
C
(I'm Actual, I'm Actual...)
VERSE 2
F G Am G
I placed you on a windowsill
F G Am G
Cut notches up and down the door
F G Am G
My surprise, I woke up one morn
F G C (hold)
In our bed, In your place lay a note; It read:
(The next part uses simple bar chord shapes, like so.)
Am Ab/A G F#/G
Baby your love it just ain't good enough
F G C
I found sunlight six hours away
Am Ab/A G F#/G (let ring)
You watered me down 'til I drifted abound
F G C
Somewhere far from your shade
F G Am G
Now I shadow my former self
F G Am G
Once holy, now lonely; a chest full of
F G Am G
holes; Red wax, it paints me unclear
F G
when the big hand strikes twelve
C (let ring)
I disappear
Am Ab/A G F#/G
and the angels are fake and they'll lie to your face
F G C
Anything to keep you away
Am Ab/A G F#/G
You watered me down 'til I drifted abound
G G G G
SOLO SECTION
Am Ab/A G F#/G
F G C
Am Ab/A G F#/G
G
It's time I accept the fact
That you on your back has buried the past
C
Can we take the next hour
C/B
and talk about me
C/B Am
Talk about me, and we'll talk about me
Am G C
Talk about me, and we'll only talk about me
C
Can we please take this hour
C/B
and talk about me
C/B Am
and my hatred for corporate magazines
Am G
you know they don't speak to me
F G G Am C/B C (let the last chord ring!)
The irony is they won't speak with me
That's it! Simple and easy and all that jazz. Enjoy!
