[Verse 1]
D G
They say that the wicked don?t rest
D G
Not in this world or the next
D G
She parks behind the line of long black limousines
A G
She had to see it for herself
[Verse 2]
D G
He used to say that she was pretty
D G
With her mother?s golden hair
D
And then one night he crossed a thousand lines
G A G
With a breath of homemade wine lying heavy in the air
[Chorus]
D G
There?s no use denying
D
Trying to pretend
G
The long road to forgiveness
Doesn?t ever end
A D
There?s no easy way to
G
Learn to let it go
A
Back to where it was
D G D G
Like dust to dust
[Bridge]
A
That door won?t close
And that light won?t dim
G
It?s a floodgate wide open with the waves crashing in
A
Frozen like the wheels of that broken-down car
D G
A constant reminder of a hand-me-down scar
D G D G
And it goes on?
[Solo]
D G D G
[Verse]
D G
Nobody understands it
D G
Nobody?s ever known
D G
They just walk away and leave her praying
A G
In the shade of his stone
[Chorus]
D G
There?s no use denying
D
Trying to pretend
G
The long road to forgiveness
Doesn?t ever end
A D
There?s no easy way to
G
Learn to let it go
A
Back to where it was
D G D G
Like dust to dust
