Intro
A# D# Gm A# D.
Gm A# D#
Smoke and cinder, steel in an ashtray
Gm A# D#
In a dingy bar where romances are born
Gm A# D#
The sound of Denver seeping from the jukebox
A# F D# A#
But no country road could ever take us home
Gm A# D#
She speaks like raging tides against the coastline
Gm A# D#
I'm rendered ragged by things that she might know
Gm A# D#
The whiskey and this feeling bring me back to better times
A# F D#
Let it go let it go let it go
A# A#/A Gm F D#
Wait you remind me of someone I used to love
A# A#/A
Wait she revived me
Gm F D#
But that was so long ago
A# F Gm D#
And now the passing days on the outside feel great
A# F D#
And it never ever rains
A# F Gm D#
The city is burning right now I'm dying
A# F D#
It's hard to wash your hands clean
F
Of these dying days
Gm A# D#
Gm A# D#
Gm A# D#
A# F D#
Gm A# D#
Sweaty palmed I swallow down my cocktail
Gm A# D#
Like the things I feel but know I shouldn't say
Gm A# D#
Every morning I awake to my reassurance
A# F D#
It's okay it's okay it's okay
A# A#/A Gm F D#
Wait you remind me of someone I used to love
A# A#/A
Wait she revived me
Gm F D#
But that was so long ago
A# F Gm D#
And now the passing days on the outside feel great
A# F D#
And it never ever rains
A# F Gm D#
The city is burning right now I'm dying
A# F D# F
It's hard to wash your hands clean
Of these dying days

A# F Gm D#
Well there I go digging graves for every single pretty girl
A# F D#
Pretty soon they'll be no more left to move
A# F Gm D#
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
A# F Gm D#
And now the passing days on the outside feel great
A# F D#
And it never ever rains
A# F Gm D#
The city is burning right now I'm dying
A# F D#
It's hard to wash your hands clean
