Smoke and Ashes Tracy Chapman
<i></i>Asus2 E
I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk
[Asus2]About the trail you'd left of bro[E]ken hearts
[Asus2]About the sea of tears too wide t[E]o cross
[Asus2]But a little bad press has never [E]scared me off
[Asus2]So I burned a path to figure out
[E]How to get me some of what you got
[Asus2]I've got a red hot heart
[E]If the talk is true yours is the same
[Asus2]And we should be together
[E]And let our passions fan love's flame
[Asus2]When I looked for you I almost [E]passed you by
[Asus2]You were so cool and calm
[E]I thought my friends had lied
[Asus2]But I thought so much reserve must make you [E]wild inside
[Asus2]It was there and then that I knew
[E]I had to get some of what you got
[Asus2]I've got a red hot heart
[E]If the talk is true yours is the same
[Asus2]And we should be together
[E]And let our passions fan love's flame
[Asus2]I thought I'd won your heart when I held you han[E]d //<break>
in mine // <break>
[Asus2]I thought it was true love the way we complemente[E]d //<break>
... each other
[Asus2]But my right is your wrong
And when you're right then I'm [E]left //<break>
...with nothing
[Asus2]Your light and your heat have all been s[E]pent...
Leaving only smoke and ashes
[Asus]Only smoke and ashes baby [E]
[Asus2]I've got a red hot heart
[E]And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
[Asus2]I say there's fire down below
[E]You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
[Am7]I'm crying all the time
[Em7]Salty stinging tears
[Am7]And mourning for the past [Em7]carbon-dated years
[Am7]But knowing now for certain [Em7]that you were always right
[Am7]Because if a breeze could blow you[Em7] out of my life
[E]It's only smoke and ashes baby
Only smoke and ashes baby[Asus2] [E]
[Asus2]I've got a red hot heart
[E]And your heart's as blue as the [Asus2]blood in your veins [E]<your heart's as blue..>
[Asus2]I say there's fire down below
[E]You say it's only smoke and ashes [Asus2]baby [E]
[Am7]I was blinded by devotion
[Em7]My unwavering love for you
[Am7]So blinded that I thought a[Em7]ll your lies were true
[Am7]But now I know for certain s[Em7]ince you've gone away
[Am7]It was just a smoldering fire I [Em7]mistook for a blaze
[E]Only smoke and ashes baby ....<on[E]ly smoke and ashes....>
[Asus2]I've got a red hot heart
[E]And your heart's as blue as the[Asus2] blood in your veins [E]<your heart's as blue>
[Asus2]I say there's fire down below
[E]You say it's only smoke and ashes [Asus2]baby
[E]Only smoke and ashes baby,[Asus2] baby <repeat out...>
