"Ashes By Now"

[C]This mornin is Monday
[C]Where are you now?
[C]Teasin my memory
[C]Tellin me how
To lay low w[G]hen I don't want to[F]
[C]Your love is elusive
[C]This I know now
[C]It's makin me crazy
[C]Leavin me out in the open[G]
When I don't want to[F]

[Am]Baby, I can't go through this ag[C]ain
I don't nee[Am]d to go down more than I've already been[C]
Just like a [Am]wildfire, you're runnin all over tow[C]n
As much as you've bu[Am]rned me baby, I should be ashes by now[C]

[C]The moments of pleasure
[C]Never do last
[C]They're gone like a suitcase
[C]Full of your past
[G]Long gone
[F]And in a hurry

[Am]Baby, I can't go through this ag[C]ain
I don't need to [Am]go down more than I've already b[C]een
Just like a [Am]wildfire, you're runnin all over[C] town
As much as you've bu[Am]rned me baby, I should be ashes by n[C]ow

Am (pause)

[C]You're runnin all over town
[Am] [C][Am][C][Am]
As m[C]uch as you burned me baby, I should be ashes by now

Just like a [Am]wildfire, you're runnin all over[C] town
As much as you've bu[Am]rned me baby, I should be ashes by n[C]ow
As much as you've bu[Am]rned me baby, I should be ashes by n[C]ow

(Ooh[Am], ooh, ooh, ashes by[C] now)
(Ooh[Am], ooh, ooh, ashes by[C] now)
(repeat and fade)[Am][C][Am][C]
As much as you've burned me baby, I should be ashes by now
