G#m B E
Smoke and cinder, steel in an ashtray
G#m B E
In a dingy bar where romances are born
G#m B E
The sound of Denver seeping from the jukebox
B F# E B
But no country road could ever take us home
G#m B E
She speaks like raging tides against the coastline
G#m B E
I'm rendered ragged by things that she might know
G#m B E
The whiskey and this feeling bring me back to better times
B F# E
Let it go let it go let it go
B B/A# G#m F# E
Wait you remind me of someone I used to love
B B/A#
Wait she revived me
G#m F# E
But that was so long ago
B F# G#m E
And now the passing days on the outside feel great
B F# E
And it never ever rains
B F# G#m E
The city is burning right now I'm dying
B F# E
It's hard to wash your hands clean
F#
Of these dying days

G#m B E
Sweaty palmed I swallow down my cocktail
G#m B E
Like the things I feel but know I shouldn't say
G#m B E
Every morning I awake to my reassurance
B F# E
It's okay it's okay it's okay
B B/A# G#m F# E
Wait you remind me of someone I used to love

B F# G#m E
Well there I go digging graves for every single pretty girl
B F# E
Pretty soon they'll be no more left to move
B F# G#m E
And I'll be filling holes with a longing in my soul
C# F#
If it's one of those things I tend to lose
B F# G#m E
And now the passing days on the outside feel great
B F# E
And it never ever rains
B F# G#m E
The city is burning right now I'm dying
B F# E
It's hard to wash your hands clean
