VERSE I 
        E5               D5      A5 
I got a postcard with an old address 
             E5            D5       A5 
A picture of Houston, in a beat-up mess 
         E5               A5        D5 
Just to remind me that it all went wrong 
        G5                   A5 
Just to beat me up, just to turn me on 
 
CHORUS 
D5     B5     D5     B5     D5     B5     G5             A5 
Stray paper, stray paper, stray paper, burnin' in my hands 
 
VERSE II 
                  E5                  D5          A5 
Cigarettes in the glove box, with the classified ads 
          E5           D5         A5 
Ashes and silver, worn into your hands 
        E5              A5      D5 
"I gotta see you", on a bar napkin 
            G5                  A5 
Gas station quarters, I got to see you again 
 
CHORUS 
 
VERSE III 
                    E5             D5     A5 
Somewhere there's a letter, that I never sent 
                E5               D5     A5 
It used to read pretty, now it's empty as 
                  E5                   A5        D5 
That night in the headlights, with the blankets pressed 
                    G5                  A5 
Was it somethin' to you, baby?  Was it always just . . . 
 
CHORUS (then repeat) 
G5             A5      G5             A5 
Burnin' in my hands, burnin' in my hands 
 
 
E5   D5   A5 (Repeat 5 times)   E5
