Emmylou Harris Ashes by Now written by Rodney Crowell
[G]This morning is Monday where are you now
Teasin' my memory teaching me how to [D]lay low
When I don't [C]want to[C7]
[G]Well love is elusive this I know now
It's making me crazy leaving me out
In the [D]open when I don't [C]want to[G][C][G]
[G]The moments of pleasures Never do last
Are gone like a suitcase full of your past
[D]Long gone and in a [C]hurry[C7]
[Em]Baby, I can't go through this [G]again
I don't need to [Em]go down more then I've already b[G]een
Just like a [Em]wild fire you're running all over [G]town
As much as you b[Em]urn me baby I should be ashes by no[G]w
[G]The second street beggars alone in their life
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
Like [D]I am They're just like I [C]am[C7]
[Em]Baby, I can't go through this [G]again
I don't need to [Em]go down more then I've already b[G]een
Just like a w[Em]ild fire you're running all over t[G]own
As much as you b[Em]urn me baby I should be ashes by no[G]w
Just like a w[Em]ild fire You're running all over to[G]wn
As much as you b[Em]urn me, baby I should be ashes by [G]now
[Em]Ah a[Ebm]h ah[Dm] ah a[G]h [Em]ah [Ebm]ah [Dm]ah [G]ah I should be ashes by now
[Em] [Ebm] [Dm] [G]
