Chord Format Matches Ukulele Versi 1

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

and talk about me

Talk about me, and we'll talk about me

Am G C
Talk about me, and we'll only talk about me

Can we please take this hour

C/B
and talk about me

and my hatred for corporate magazines

The irony is they won't speak with me
