[Verse 1]
C#mEmpty bottles on a Bdusty wooden floor
A F#mremedy I've tried too many C#mtimes
C#mEchos in my mind of Bshouts and slamming doors
F#mI've done better with goodC#mbye
C#mNow the sun is heading Bback into its grave
F#mIt's a cold october C#mnight
C#mTaste the autumn air and Bhope to find a way
F#mTo keep the dark out of my C#mmind
[Chorus]
KeroAsene, keroC#msene
She C#mlit me up
She Bleft me numb
I Acall her kerosEene
KeroAsene, keroC#msene
She C#mlit me up
She Bleft me numb
I Acall her kerosEene

C#mLight a candle as I lBay me down to sleep
F#mWatch the room begin to C#mglow
C#mListen quietly to wBind and rustling leaves
F#mIn the silence I'm aC#mt home
C#mIn my dreams I see her sBtanding by the fire
F#mGranite eyes reflect the C#mflames
C#mHumming softly 'till the Bembers start to tire
F#mA faded memory that I C#msaved
[Chorus]
KeroAsene, keroC#msene
She C#mlit me up
