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

D# A# G#
Cm D# G#
Sweaty palmed I swallow down my cocktail
Cm D# G#
Like the things I feel but know I shouldn't say
Cm D# G#
Every morning I awake to my reassurance
D# A# G#
It's okay it's okay it's okay
D# D#/D Cm A# G#
Wait you remind me of someone I used to love
D# D#/D
Wait she revived me
Cm A# G#
But that was so long ago
D# A# Cm G#
And now the passing days on the outside feel great
D# A# G#
And it never ever rains
D# A# Cm G#
The city is burning right now I'm dying
D# A# G# A#
It's hard to wash your hands clean
Of these dying days

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