[Intro 1]
[Am][F]
[Am][F]

[Verse 1]
I'm [Am]all washed
out by the side of the road
[F]Broken bones Matilda left
a note and a rose
Sayin', [Am]"Baby honey child,
I've loved you so long
But you de[F]serve much better than [C]me."

[Verse 2]
So I'm just [Am]burnin' all around
all the miles in the road
And I'm [F]never goin' back and
I'm never goin' home
I've been [Am]gone too long,
I've been less right than wrong
I lost [F]so much blood in
the [C]fall[G]in' out
[F]

[Verse 3]
[G]
And I lit a [C]fire that wouldn't go out
Until it con[F]sumed the walls
and roof of this house
Until all I [C]remember was burnin' away
And all I [F]remember,
you burned it away
[G][Am]

[Verse 4]
[G]See[Am], for ten long years I've
been hustlin' around
Try[F]in' to wash the sins and
the sweat from my brow
Just try[Am]in' to find a better
life for me and my own
Just some [F]rest for these
tired workin' fin[C]gers

[Verse 5]
But [Am]nobody never gonna tell you the way
You gotta [F]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]ever really wanted was
for [C]someone [G]to understand
[F]

[Verse 6]
[G]
And I lit a [C]fire that wouldn't go out
Until it con[F]sumed the walls
and roof of this house
Until all I [C]remember was burnin' away
And all I remem[F]ber, you burned it away
[G]Well, don't you

[Verse 7]
take it so [C]hard and baby,
don't you cry
You cross your hard [F]heart
and you hope to die
Don't you tell me [C]no more lies,
you lied all the time
Don't you tell me no [F]more lies,
you lied every [G]night

[Verse 8]
And [G]you're sugar and
[Am]spice and everything nice
[G]You got Monroe hip[F]s,
your poisoned lips and [C]knives
And you're sugar and
[Am]spice and everything nice
[G]You got open wou[F]nds in
a young boy's pride
[C]And you're sugar and spice

[Verse 9]
[Am]
and everything nice
[G]You got Monroe hip[F]s,
your poisoned lips [C]and knives
[G]Sugar [Am]and spice, everything [G]nice
Open [F]wounds in a young boy's [C]pride[G]

[Verse 10]
[G]
And I lit [C]a fire that wouldn't go out
Until it con[F]sumed the walls
and roof of this house
Until all I [C]remember was burnin' away
And all that you [F]left me, you burned it away

[Verse 11]
[G]Well, don't you take it so har[C]d and baby,
don't you cry
You cross your hard [F]heart
and you hope to die
Don't you tell me no [C]more lies,
you lied all the time
Don't you tell me no [F]more lies,
you lied every [G]night

[Verse 12]
[Am]Time, time [G]tickin' [F]away
[Am]Time, time [G]tickin' [F]away
[Am]Time, time tickin' away[F]
[Am]Time, time tick[G]in' [F]away

[Outro 1]
