Smoke And Ashes
Key: AEnglish
Verse
A(sus2)I'd heard rumors and I'd Eheard talk
A(sus2)About the trail you'd left of Ebroken hearts
A(sus2)About the sea of tears too wide to Ecross
A(sus2)But a little bad press has never Escared me off
A(sus2)So I burned a path to figure out
EHow to get me some of what you got
Chorus
A(sus2)I've got a red hot heart
EIf the talk is true yours is the same
A(sus2)And we should be together
EAnd let our passions fan love's flame
Verse
A(sus2)When I looked for you I almost Epassed you by
A(sus2)You were so cool and calm
I Ethought my friends had lied
A(sus2)But I thought so much reserve must make you Ewild inside
A(sus2)It was there and then that I knew
I Ehad to get some of what you got
Chorus
A(sus2)I've got a red hot heart
EIf the talk is true yours is the same
A(sus2)And we should be together
EAnd let our passions fan love's flame
Verse
A(sus2)I thought I'd won your heart when I held your hand Ein mine
A(sus2)I thought it was true love the way we complemented Eeach other
A(sus2)But my right is your wrong
And when you're right then I'm Eleft with nothing
A(sus2)Your light and your heat have all been Espent...
Leaving only smoke and ashes
A(sus4)Only smoke and ashes baby E
Chorus
A(sus2)I've got a red hot heart
EAnd your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
A(sus2)I say there's fire down below
EYou say it's only smoke and ashes baby

Only smoke and ashes baby A(sus2) E

I Am7was blinded by devotion my unwavering love for you

EOnly smoke and ashes A(sus2)baby .... E
