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

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

And it never ever rains

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

It's hard to wash your hands clean
