Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
| Em     G      | C             | Em     G      | C             |
 
[Verse 1]
Em                                                           G
Fire’s a burning on a mountain, you can smell it from miles around.
                                                         C
It's getting heavy and the ash is snowing softly on this town,
                             Dsus4
it's getting hard to see the ground.
Em                                                               G
  Burns to breathe, it's hard to see, it's getting darker by the day.
                                                          C
Try to speak but I'm too weak from all the coughing I can   take,
                         Dsus4***
all that's left to do is pray.
 
[Chorus]
        Em                            C
Far too wasted, hollowed out, far too faded to talk me down,
                      G     D                             C
it carries through my bones   and that's something I hold   close.
           Em                            C
If I start choking on my lies, would you leave me here to die
                   G     D                 C***
'cuz all I've ever known   is everything I hold,
                      (Em)
just turns to dust and smoke.
 
[Interlude]
| Em     G      | C             | Em     G      | C             |
 
[Verse 2]
Em                                                          G
  I've been dreaming about the moment that I saw you in my sleep,
                                                         C
told me I was too damn young to be the type of man you'd   keep.
                        Dsus4
Girl, that lives inside   me.
Em                                                G
  They say the only way to make it out of hell is through,
                                                C
that the darkest times can bring out a light in   you.
                        Dsus4
Well, if only that were true.
 
[Chorus]
        Em                            C
Far too wasted, hollowed out, far too faded to talk me down,
                      G     D                             C
it carries through my bones   and that's something I hold   close.
           Em                            C
If I start choking on my lies, would you leave me here to die
                   G     D                 C
'cuz all I've ever known   is everything I hold,
                      (Em)
just turns to dust and smoke.
 
[Interlude]
| Em     G      | C             | Em     G      | C       D     |
 
[End-Chorus]
        Em                            C
Far too wasted, hollowed out, far too faded to talk me down,
                      G     D                             C
it carries through my bones   and that's something I hold   close.
           Em                            C
If I start choking on my lies, would you leave me here to die
                   G     D                 C
'cuz all I've ever known   is everything I hold,
                       Em*
just turns to dust and smoke.
