[Intro]
Bm F# Em
D F# Bm F#
 
[Verse 1]
          Bm         F#            Em
There's a fire in my brain and I'm burning up
 
   D F#   Bm F#
Oh my, oh my
 
     Bm              F#           Em
Keep running for the sink but the well is dry
 
   D F#   Bm F#
Oh my, oh my
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      Bm            G
Every word I say is kindling
        D                        F#
But the smoke clears when you're around
          Bm                G
Won't you stay with me, my darling
        F#
When my walls start burning down?
 
[Interlude]
Bm F# Em
D F# Bm F#
 
[Verse 2]
     Bm         F#            Em
This house is my name like an elegy
   D F#   Bm F#
Oh my, oh my
     Bm         F#            Em
Echoing where my ghosts all used to be
   D F#   Bm F#
Oh my, oh my
 
[Pre-Chorus]
              Bm             G
There's still cobwebs in the corners
        D                  F#
And the backyard's full of bones
          Bm                G
Won't you stay with me, my darling
          F#
When this house don't feel like home?
          F#
When this house don't feel like home?
 
[Chorus]
   Bm            G
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
    D       F#    Bm         F#
The devil's after both of us
Bm             G
Last my curses out to rest
       D     F#     Bm
Make a mercy out of me
 
 
 
[Verse 3]
     Bm         F#            Em
This tired old machine is a-rumbling
   D F#   Bm F#
Oh my, oh my
        Bm         F#            Em
Singing songs to the secrets behind my eye
   D F#   Bm F#
Oh my, oh my
 
[Pre-Chorus]
              Bm             G
All my aching bones are trembling
        D                  F#
And I may yet fall apart
          Bm                G
Won't you stay with me, me darling
          F#
When the war starts in my heart?
          F#
When the war starts in my heart?
 
[Chorus]
   Bm            G
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
    D       F#    Bm      F#
The devil's after both of us
Bm             G
Last my curses out to rest
       D     F#     Bm
Make a mercy out of me
   Bm            G
Oh ashes, ashes, dust to dust
D       F#    Bm  F#
Tell me I am good enough
Bm             G
Last my curses out to rest
       D     F#
Make a mercy out of
