Ashes On Your Eyes

Am           Em        F                      G
Just about the time your heart breaks like a wheel
Am              Em                F
Not in a straight line, but all in pieces
 G                Am         Em       F       G
Some you'll leave behind on a road you won't revise
        Am     Em         F           Em
No, you won't revisit that dirty compromise


[Chorus]
 F       G    C        G        F
Now you only dream in peaceful blue
         G              Am         G      F
And the morning doesn't even scare you anymore
           G                Am
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a
 G      F
little wet
          Am              G              F
Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
 F              G                  F    G
pretty on your eyes, pretty on your eyes

[Verse 2]
         Am       Em
So look up, up ahead
     F               G
The city lights are dancing for you
Am          Em      F               G             Am
Or is it the aurora burning of the edges of the sky?
       Em         F
Don't cry, don't cry
 G             Am  Em  F             Em
That's all over now, that's all over now


[Chorus]
 F       G    C        G        F
Now you only dream in peaceful blue
         G              Am         G      F
And the morning doesn't even scare you anymore
           G                Am
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a
 G      F
little wet
          Am              G              F
Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
 F              G
pretty on your eyes


[Bridge]
Am                    F
Dry your wings in the sun
                 G              C   G
You have only begun to understand
Am                     F              G
When it's time to move on there is no one
              C   G
To hold your hand
       Am      F     Am6     F    G
So let go, let go, let go.  Ooooohh

[Verse 3]
Am                Em
Here the night is fine
     F                   G
The stars are sparks of steel
Am              Em           F
Chiseled in the mines of twilight
     G                 Am
You tell me something real, say
        Em         F
"Don't try, don't try
 G           Am  Em  F         G
Just remember how,  remember, remember"


[Chorus]
 F       G    C        G        F
Now you only dream in peaceful blue
         G              Am         G      F
And the morning doesn't even scare you anymore
           G                Am
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a
 G      F
little wet
          Am              G              F
Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
 F              G                  F   G
pretty on your eyes, pretty on your eyes
