Smoke And Ashes by Tracy Chapman
Smoke And Ashes
Asus2 E
I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk
Asus2 E
About the trail you'd left of broken hearts
Asus2 E
About the sea of tears too wide to cross
Asus2 E
But a little bad press has never scared me off
Asus2
So I burned a path to figure out
E
How to get me some of what you got
Asus2
I've got a red hot heart
E
If the talk is true yours is the same
Asus2
And we should be together
E
And let our passions fan love's flame
Asus2 E
When I looked for you I almost passed you by
Asus2
You were so cool and calm
E
I thought my friends had lied
Asus2 E
But I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside
Asus2
It was there and then that I knew
E
I had to get some of what you got
Asus2
I've got a red hot heart
E
If the talk is true yours is the same
Asus2
And we should be together
E
And let our passions fan love's flame
Asus2 E
I thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand //
in mine //
Asus2 E
I thought it was true love the way we complemented //
... each other
Asus2
But my right is your wrong
E
And when you're right then I'm left //
...with nothing
Asus2 E
Your light and your heat have all been spent...
Leaving only smoke and ashes
Asus E
Only smoke and ashes baby
Asus2
I've got a red hot heart
E
And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
Asus2
I say there's fire down below
E
You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
Am7
I'm crying all the time
Em7
Salty stinging tears
Am7 Em7
And mourning for the past carbon-dated years
Am7 Em7
But knowing now for certain that you were always right
Am7 Em7
Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life
E
It's only smoke and ashes baby
Asus2 E
Only smoke and ashes baby
Asus2
I've got a red hot heart
E Asus2 E
And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
Asus2
I say there's fire down below
E Asus2 E
You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
Am7
I was blinded by devotion
Em7
My unwavering love for you
Am7 Em7
So blinded that I thought all your lies were true
Am7 Em7
But now I know for certain since you've gone away
Am7 Em7
It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze
E E
Only smoke and ashes baby ....
Asus2
I've got a red hot heart
E Asus2 E
And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
Asus2
I say there's fire down below
E Asus2
You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
E Asus2
Only smoke and ashes baby, baby
