_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ heard rumors, _ _ [E] and I heard talk About _ [A] _ _ the trail you [E] left, a broken _ house
[A] About _ _ the sea of tears [E] to watch you cross _ _ [A] _ But a little bad press has never [E] _ scared me
No, _ so [A] _ I burned up at the [E] figure I _ _ had again this summer, what you [A] got? _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ Well, I got a red hot [E] heart _ _ If the talk is true, yours is the [A] same
_ And we should be [E] together _ Then our passions fans will [A] just blame
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, [E] yeah, yeah, _ yeah _
_ _ _ [A] _ And before you I [E] almost _ passed you by You [A] _ _ were so cool and calm
I [E] thought my _ friends had lied But [A] I'm not so much reserved
Must have made you [E] _ wild and shy _ _ [A] _ But you were still that man [E] that I knew
I burned up at the figure I had again this summer, what you [A] got? _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ Well, I got a red hot [E] heart _ _ If the talk is true, yours is the [A] same
_ And we should be [E] together _ Then our passions fans will [A] just blame
Oh yeah, yeah, [E] yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, _ _ yeah
_ Thought [A] _ I won your heart when I [E] held your _ hand
In my _ [A] eyes, thought it was true love The way we _ [E] _ complimented each _ _ [A] other
My right is your wrong, when you're right [E] then I'm left with _ nothing
[A] _ Your light and your heat [E] have all been spent _ Leaving only smoking [A] ashes _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
Only smoking ashes, [A] _ baby _ _
I _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ got a red hot [E] heart _ _ And your heart's as blue as the sun in your [A] eyes
I said let's fire down below [E] _ _ You see it's only smoking ashes, [A] baby _ _
I'm _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
crying all the time, _ _ salty stinging [D] tears _ And mourning for the _ past, _ _ carbon dated [Am] years
_ But knowing now for certain _ that you were always [D] right
_ Because if the breeze could blow you _ _ out of my life
[E] It's only smoking ashes, _ baby _ [A] _ _ _ _ Only _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ smoking ashes, [A] baby
_ I _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ got a red hot [E] heart _ _ And your heart's as blue as the sun in [A] your eyes
I said let's fire down [E] below You see it's only smoking ashes, [A] baby
_ _ I [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ was blinded by devotion _ _ My unwavering love for [D] you
_ So _ [A] blinded [D] that I thought _ all your [Am] lies were true _
_ But now I know for certain _ [C] since [Em] you've gone away
[D] _
