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

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