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

Fm G# C#
Sweaty palmed I swallow down my cocktail
Fm G# C#
Like the things I feel but know I shouldn't say
Fm G# C#
Every morning I awake to my reassurance
G# D# C#
It's okay it's okay it's okay
G# G#/G Fm D# C#
Wait you remind me of someone I used to love
G# G#/G
Wait she revived me
Fm D# C#
But that was so long ago

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