          D             F
         When I look up to the skies
            C              G             D     F-C-G
         I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow
                 D             F
         I rush home to bed I soak my head
            C            G              D     F-C-G
         I see your face underneath my pillow
            D                 F
         I wake next morning tired still yawning 
          C                  G                  D     F-C-G-D-D-D-D
         See your face come peaking through my window
         
          G           A                  D  
         Pictures of matchstick men and you
          G          A                  D
         Mirages of matchstick men and you
          G          A               D  F-C-G-D-F-C-G-D-D-D-D
         All I ever see is them and you
         
        (guitar intro again)

         





          Bb           Bb
         Windows echo your reflection 
          F               F              C
         When I look in their direction gone
          Bb             Bb
         When will this haunting stop
               F                 F         A   A-D-D
         Your face it just wont leave me a-lone
         
          G           A                  D  
         Pictures of matchstick men and you
          G          A                  D
         Mirages of matchstick men and you
          G          A               D
         All I ever see is them and you
         
             F               C                  G               D
         You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie
             F               C                  G               D
         You in the sky you with this guy you make men cry you lie
         
         F-C-G-D
