intro
Dm Bb 2x
Dm
I'm all washed out by the side of the road
Bb
Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose
Dm Bb F
Saying Baby honey child I love you so long but you deserve much better than me
Dm
So I'm just burning all around
All the miles on the road
Bb
And I'm never going back
And I'm never going home
Dm
I've been gone too long
I've been less right than wrong
Bb F Bb C
I've lost so much blood in the falling out
F
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Bb
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
F
Until all I remember was burning away
Bb C Dm
And all I remember you burnt it away
Dm
See for 1 long years I've been hustling around
Bb
Tryin' to wash the sins and sweat from my brow
Dm
Just trying to find a better life for me and my own
Bb F
Just some rest for these tired working fingers
Dm
But nobody's ever going to tear you away
Bb
You gotta figure it out boys
Dm
It's all for the rain and the fools in the night and the heat in the day
Bb F Bb C
When all you ever really wanted was someone to understand
F
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Bb
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
F
Until all I remember was burning away
Bb C
And all I remember you burnt it away
F
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry
Bb
Cross your hard heart and hope to die
F
Don't you tell me no more lies you lied all the time
Bb C
Don't you tell me no more lies you lied every night
Dm F
And your sugar and spice and everything nice
Bb F
You got Monroe hips your poison lips and knives
Dm F
And your sugar and spice and everything nice
Bb F (Bb C 2nd time)
Open wounds and a young boy's pride
[2x]
F
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Bb
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
F
Until all I remember was burning away
Bb C
And all I had left you burnt it away
F
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry
Bb
Cross your hard heart and hope to die
F
Don't you tell me no more lies you lied all the time
Bb C
Don't you tell me no more lies you lied every night
