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
