My Ashes

Em C/G Em/C#


[Verse]
Em                    C/G
All the things that I needed
Em/C#
Wasted my chances
Em                  C/G    Em/C#
I have found myself wanting
Em                C/G    Em/C#  
When a mother and father gave me
       Em
 their problems
      C/G              Em/C#
I accepted them all
Em             C/G
Nothing ever expected
Em/C#      Em
I was rejected
                    C/G   Em/C#
But I came back for more


Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
C                  B
And my ashes drift beneath the 
silver sky
        A                      
Where a boy rides on a bike and 
       B
never smiles
C                    B
And my ashes fall on all the things 
we said
     A                            
On a box of photographs under the 
G E B G E B
bed


[Verse]
Em                    C/G
I will stay in my own world
Em/C#
Under the covers
Em                  C/G    Em/C#
I will feel save inside
Em                    C/G
A kiss that will burn me
Em/C#         Em
Cure me of dreaming
            C/G   Em/C#
I was always returning


[Chorus]
C                  B
And my ashes find a way beyond the 
fog
        A                          
And return to save the child that I
   B
 forgot
C                    B
And my ashes fade among the things 
unseen
A                            G E 
And the dream plays in reverse on
B G E B
 piano-keys

C                  B
And my ashes drop upon a park in 
Wales
        A                      
Never ending clouds of rain and 
       B
distant sails
C                    B
And distant sails
