Dust to Dust
Artist: Dave Gunning
Album: House for Sale
Composed by: Dave Gunning/Jamie Robinson
(Capo 2) 
[Verse 1]
DThey say that the wicked don?t restG  
DNot in this world or the nextG  
DShe parks behind the line of long black limousGines
AShe had to see it for herselfG  
[Verse 2]
DHe used to say that she was prettyG  
DWith her mother?s golden hairG  
And then one nDight he crossed a thousand lines
With a breath Gof homemade wine lying heavy in the aAirG  
[Chorus]
DThere?s no use denyingG  
Trying to pretendD  
The long road to forgivenessG  
Doesn?t ever end
AThere?s no easy way to D  
Learn to let it goG  
Back to where it wasA  
Like dust to dustD  G  D  G  
[Bridge]
AThat door won?t close
And that light won?t dim
GIt?s a floodgate wide open with the waves crashing in 
AFrozen like the wheels of that broken-down car
DA constant reminder of a hand-me-down scarG  
And it goes on?D  G  D  G  
[Solo]
D G D G
[Verse]
DNobody understands itG  
DNobody?s ever knownG  
DThey just walk away and leave her praGying
AIn the shade of his stoneG  
[Chorus]
DThere?s no use denyingG  
Trying to pretendD  
The long road to forgivenessG  
Doesn?t ever end
AThere?s no easy way to D  
Learn to let it goG  
Back to where it wasA  
Like dust to dustD  G  D  G
