VERSE I
        Em               D      A
I got a postcard with an old address

             Em            D       
A picture of Houston, in a beat-up 
A
mess

         Em               A        
Just to remind me that it all went 
D
wrong

        G                   A
Just to beat me up, just to turn me 
on


CHORUS
D     Bm     D     Bm     D    
Stray paper, stray paper, stray
 Bm     G             A
 paper, burnin' in my hands

VERSE II
                  Em             
Cigarettes in the glove box, with 
     D          A
the classified ads

          Em           D         
Ashes and silver, worn into your 
A
hands

        Em              A      D
"I gotta see you", on a bar napkin

            G                  A
Gas station quarters, I got to see 
you again


CHORUS


VERSE III
                    Em             
Somewhere there's a letter, that I 
D     A
never sent

                Em              
It used to read pretty, now it's 
 D     A
empty as

                  Em               
That night in the headlights, with 
    A        D
the blankets pressed

                    G              
Was it somethin' to you, baby?  Was
    A
 it always just . . .


CHORUS (then repeat)

G             A      G           
Burnin' in my hands, burnin' in my 
  A
hands


Em   D   A (Repeat 5 times)   Em
