F#mSmoke and cinder, Asteel in an Dashtray
F#mIn a dingy bar wheAre romances aDre born
F#mThe sound of DenveAr seeping froDm the jukebox
ABut no country roaEd could ever Dtake us homeA  
F#mShe speaks like raging tAides against the cDoastline
F#mI'm rendered ragged by thAings that she migDht know
F#mThe whiskey and this feeliAng bring me back Dto better times
ALet it go Elet it go Dlet it go
AWait you rA/G#emind me of sF#momeone I uEsed to lDove
AWait she rA/G#evived me
F#mBut that was Eso long agDo
AAnd now the passing Edays on the F#moutside feel Dgreat
AAnd it never Eever Drains
AThe city is Eburning F#mright now I'm Ddying

Smoke and cinder, steel in an ashtray

F#m A D

In a dingy bar where romances are born

The sound of Denver seeping from the jukebox

But no country road could ever take us home

She speaks like raging tides against the coastline

I'm rendered ragged by things that she might know

F#m A D

The whiskey and this feeling bring me back to better times

A E D

Let it go let it go let it go

Wait you remind me of someone I used to love

A A/G#

Wait she revived me

F#m E D

But that was so long ago

A E F#m D

And now the passing days on the outside feel great

A E D

And it never ever rains

A E F#m D

The city is burning right now I'm dying

It's hard to wash your hands clean

Of these dying days
