D5       Bb5   2x

D5
I'm all washed out by the side of the road.
Bb5
Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose.
        D5                                           Bb5                       F5
Saying "Baby honey child, I love you so long but you deserve much better than me"

D5
So I'm just burning all around.
All the miles on the road.
Bb5
And I'm never going back.
And I'm never going home.
D5
I've been gone too long.
I've been less right than wrong.
Bb5                             F5       Bb5   C5 barre
I've lost so much blood in the falling out

F5
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
         Bb5
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
            F5
Until all I remember was burning away.
          Bb5                     C5 barre        D5
And all I remember, you burnt it away.

D5
See for 10 long years I've been hustling around.
Bb5
Tryin' to wash the sins and sweat from my brow.
D5
Just trying to find a better life for me and my own.
Bb5                                      F5    
Just some rest for these tired working fingers.

D5
But nobody's ever going to tear you away.
          Bb5
You gotta figure it out boys.
                               D5
It's all for the rain, and the fools in the night, and the heat in the day.
                  Bb5                F5           Bb5   C5 barre
When all you ever really wanted was someone to understand.

F5
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
         Bb5
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
            F5
Until all I remember was burning away.
          Bb5                     C5 barre
And all I remember, you burnt it away.
                          F5
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry.
                Bb5
Cross your hard heart and hope to die.
                     F5
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time.
                     Bb5                        C5 barre
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night.

                   D5                    F5
And your sugar and spice, and everything nice.
                Bb5                        F5
You got Monroe hips, your poison lips and knives.
                   D5                    F5
And your sugar and spice, and everything nice.
     Bb5                       F5   ( Bb5  C5 barre    2nd time)
Open wounds and a young boy's pride.
[2x]

F5
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
         Bb5
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
            F5
Until all I remember was burning away.
              Bb5                 C5 barre
And all I had left, you burnt it away.
                          F5
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry.
                Bb5
Cross your hard heart and hope to die.
                     F5
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time.
                     Bb5                        C5 barre
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night.
