Verse 1:
Fm                                                           Ab
Fire’s a burning on a mountain, you can smell it from miles around.
                                                         Db
It's getting heavy and the ash is snowing softly on this town,
                             Ebsus4
it's getting hard to see the ground.
Fm                                                               Ab
  Burns to breathe, it's hard to see, it's getting darker by the day.
                                                          Db
Try to speak but I'm too weak from all the coughing I can   take,
                         Ebsus4
all that's left to do is pray.

Chorus:
        Fm                            Db
Far too wasted, hollowed out, far too faded to talk me down,
                      Ab    Eb                            Db
it carries through my bones   and that's something I hold   close.
           Fm                            Db
If I start choking on my lies, would you leave me here to die
                   Ab    Eb                Db
'cuz all I've ever known   is everything I hold,
                      (Fm)
just turns to dust and smoke.

Verse 2:
Fm                                                          Ab
  I've been dreaming about the moment that I saw you in my sleep,
                                                         Db
told me I was too damn young to be the type of man you'd   keep.
                        Ebsus4
Girl, that lives inside   me.
Fm                                                Ab
  They say the only way to make it out of hell is through,
                                                Db
that the darkest times can bring out a light in   you.
                        Ebsus4
Well, if only that were true.

Chorus:
        Fm                            Db
Far too wasted, hollowed out, far too faded to talk me down,
                      Ab    Eb                            Db
it carries through my bones   and that's something I hold   close.
           Fm                            Db
If I start choking on my lies, would you leave me here to die
                   Ab    Eb                Db
'cuz all I've ever known   is everything I hold,
                      (Fm)
just turns to dust and smoke.

                      Ab    Eb                            Db
it carries through my bones   and that's something I hold   close.
           Fm                            Db
If I start choking on my lies, would you leave me here to die

'cuz all I've ever known   is everything I hold,
                       Fm
just turns to dust and smoke.
