ASHES
Ben Harper
Capo on 1st Fret
AAshes to ashes And Ddust to Adust
EThats what has become Of our Dlove and Atrust
ALove has no direction Cause lDove has no Aaim
ELove can leave you ADs fast as she Acame
EMeeting is such sweet Asorrow Cause C#msomeday we may have to Dpart
DHush dont you mEake a F#msound EYoure gonna lDet me dAown
Good things come
To those who wait
But good things are gone
From those who are late
All that I am
Is all I can give
But with or without you
My life I must live
Meeting is such sweet sorrow
Cause someday we may have to part
Hush dont you make a sound
Youre gonna let me down
Living aint easy
Since youve been gone
No one else can please me
Or make me feel home
Forgetting aint easy
You stay on my mind
Thoughts of us haunt me
Cant leave them behind
