[Verse 1]
Dm Bb F
They left with clothes in disarray
C Dm
And her on the bed, fifteen that day
Bb
They got her drunk
F C
They never apologized
Dm Bb F
She kept her mouth shut the way girls should
C Dm
Tried to decide just where she stood
Bb F C Dm
And i was the only one to see the glowing anger in her eyes
[Chorus 1]
Bb C
I still wonder what went through her mind
Dm Bb C
Think she was sick to death of trying to keep quiet
Dm Bb
And she bought a box of matches
C Bb
Cause this flame was growing brighter every night
Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F A
And she took this as a sign
Dm Bb F C Bb Bb A5 A5
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb F
That life was gonna be like this
C
They get their way you watch it
Dm Bb F C
She's not the first and she's probably not the last
Dm Bb
Then three more girls talked
F C
Killed any doubt that she had any choice about
Dm Bb
A little light inside that told her
F C
It was time to take revenge
[Chorus 2]
Dm Bb C
I still wonder what went through her mind
Dm Bb C
Think she'd had enough of trying to keep quiet
Dm Bb
And she bought a box of matches
C Bb
Cause this flame was growing brighter every night
Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F A
And it was almost time
Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F
Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F A
Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F A
[Chorus 3]
Dm Bb C
I still wonder what went through her mind
Dm Bb C
When the first spark flew i'd like to think she smiled
Dm Bb
And she carried that torch
C Bb
Cause the stale smell of their sweat still clung to her insides
Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F A
She didn’t leave until the last flame died
Dm Bb F C Dm Bb F C
