[Capo 2]
[Am] [F/C] x2
[Am] I'm all washed out by the side of the road
[F/C] Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose
Saying [Am] "Baby, honey child, I loved you so long but you [F/C] deserve much better than me"
[Am] So I'm just burning all around
All the miles in the road
[F/C] And I'm never going back
And I'm never going home
[Am] I've been gone too long
I've been less right than wrong
[F/C] I've lost so much blood in the [G] falling [C] out
And I lit a [C] fire that wouldn't go out
Until it [G] consumed the walls and roof of this house
And all I [Am] remember was burning away
And all I [F/C] remember, you're burnin' [G] away
[Am] See for 10 long years I've been hustling around
[F/C] Tryin' to wash the sins and sweat from my brow
[Am] Just trying to find a better life for me and my own
[F/C] Just some rest for these tired working fingers
[Am] But nobody never gonna tell you the way
You gotta [F/C] figure it out boys
And suffer the rain, and the [Am] fools in the night, and the heat of the day
When all you [F/C] ever really wanted was for [G] someone to under[C]stand
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/gaslight_anthem/film_noir_crd.html ]
And I lit a [C] fire that wouldn't go out
Until it [G] consumed the walls and roof of this house
And all I [Am] remember was burning away
And all I [F/C] remember, you're burnin' [G] away
Well don't you take it so [C] hard and baby don't you cry
You cross your hard [G] heart and hope to die
Don't you tell me no [Am] more lies, you lied all the time
Don't you tell me no [F/C] more lies, you lied every [G] night
2X
And you're sugar and [Am] spice, and everything [C] nice
You got Monroe [F/C] hips, your poison lips and [G/C] knives
And your sugar and [Am] spice, and everything [C] nice
You got open [F/C] wounds in a young boy's [G/C] pride
And I lit a [C] fire that wouldn't go out
Until it [G] consumed the walls and roof of this house
And all I [Am] remember was burning away
And all I [F/C] remember, you're burnin' [G] away
Well don't you take it so [C] hard and baby don't you cry
You cross your hard [G] heart and hope to die
Don't you tell me no [Am] more lies, you lied all the time
Don't you tell me no [F/C] more lies, you lied every [G] night
[F/C] Time, time, tickin' [Am] away
[F/C] Time, time, tickin' [Am] away
(All over your face)
[F/C] Time, time, tickin' [Am] away
(All over my face)
[F/C] Time, time, tickin' [Am] away
