Ashes

Intro: G Em C

G               Em
 You never sat alone
    C                  G
And thought about your own
                       Em           C             G
Holding fisfuls of the ashes of the lady you once were


                       Em
Your shelves are empty now
     C            G
Your heart is overblown
                            Em            C             G
And the streets you used to blame are now ashamed of you

(G Em C)

G                          Em
 The night is where you're from
   C                  G
At least you thought so
                       Em                  C                  G
As the darkness's now approaching and your lips are wet enough

                       Em
The drink is not too strong
     C                G
Your taste is never wrong
                         Em            C       Am
Though the barman didn't save a single drop of rum


(refrain)
                     C
You're far away from home
              G
Staring at no one
         D                  Am
Waiting long for a better income
                   C
Your time is never gone
                     G
You'll always be the one
                   D                    Am
And never will you have to expose your bone
                     C
It's not that you pretend
                 G
To be somone you can't
                    D                   Am
Just promise in the end you'll be back home
                  C
A little more to share
              G
A stranger to tear
         D
And your ready to go

(G Em C)

G                 Em
The books you read
  C             G
Inside your head
                 Em       C         G
Are the fuel you claim to feel alive

                Em
They dry your tears
 C           G
Along, within
                          Em       C    Am
And then burn down to the ashes of past

(refrain)

Am      Em            Am        Em
Hunting thoughts of a heartless soul
Am      Em           D       C
  Never leave, never let you go
Am         Em               Am       Em
Brought no warmth and won't bring no cold
Am       Em       D         C
Pass you by and retain your glow
