C            G          Dm
Sittin' at a bar in San Padre
F               G         C
Whiskey meltin' ice in my glass
                G             Dm
When she walked up and said, "Cowboy
F            G             C
Do those old boots like to dance?"
    Dm                               G
The band was playin' something sorta Spanish and blue
         Dm              G
I spilled half my drink, easin' off that stool

[Chorus]
        C       G
And the way she smiled
  Am       G        F      G
I knew she knew she had me
   C         G
We burned so fast
     Am       G           F   C
It was pretty while it lasted
       Dm   C  F      G         C       G  F  G  C
Like a lighted match on spilled whiskey

[Verse 2]
C    G             Dm
 I remember it was rainin'
    F                G         C
The morning that the fire went out
           G         Dm
She left a kiss on a matchbook
F                   G        C
Slipped off without makin' a sound
           Dm                 G
I held her long enough to know I couldn't hold her
        Dm                      G
But the world felt good with her head on my shoulder

[Chorus]
        C       G
And the way she smiled
  Am       G        F      G
I knew she knew she had me
   C         G
We burned so fast
     Am       G           F   C
It was pretty while it lasted
       Dm   C  F      G         C        F  C
Like a lighted match on spilled whiskey

[Bridge]
Dm                          G
 Ain't no tellin' where she is right now
  Dm                               G
I think I'll drink another while I sit and think about

[Chorus]
        C       G        Am  G  F  G
And the way she smiled
   C         G
We burned so fast
     Am       G           F   C
It was pretty while it lasted
       Dm   C  F      G         C        F  C
Like a lighted match on spilled whiskey
            Dm   C  F      G         C
Just like a lighted match on spilled whiskey
