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

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