[Intro]
C Cm/Eb
[Verse]
C    Cm/Eb
If I only had a match
C    Cm/Eb
Then my cares I'd soon forget
C       Am             Dm
All I need would be a match 
Bb      G        C            Bb         G
if I had a cigarette. (if i had a cigarette)
[Verse]
C           Cm/Eb
If I had a cigarette, 
C           Cm/Eb
I could make the smoke rings curl. 
C                 Am  Dm
But I'd really be all set, 
Bb     G        C         Bb            C
if I only had a girl. (if I only had a girl)
[Chorus]
Em
If I had someone like you, 
  B                   Em
to come home to each night, 
G           Em
In a cozy bungalow, 
Am                    Dm   C#m
we'd know such sweet delight. 
[Verse]
C    Cm/Eb
We could have a family,
C    Cm/Eb
 and a little garden patch, 
C                 Am  Dm
And to think this all could be, 
Bb     G        C         Bb            C
if I only had a match (if I only had a match)
[Chorus]
Em
If I had someone like you, 
  B                   Em
to come home to each night, 
G           Em
In a cozy bungalow, 
Am                    Dm   C#m
we'd know such sweet delight.
