Emmylou Harris Ashes by Now written by Rodney Crowell
G
This morning is Monday where are you now
D
Teasin' my memory teaching me how to lay low
C C7
When I don't want to
G
Well love is elusive this I know now
It's making me crazy leaving me out
D C G C G
In the open when I don't want to
G
The moments of pleasures Never do last
Are gone like a suitcase full of your past
D C C7
Long gone and in a hurry
Em G
Baby, I can't go through this again
Em G
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
Em G
Just like a wild fire you're running all over town
Em G
As much as you burn me baby I should be ashes by now
G
The second street beggars alone in their life
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
D C C7
Like I am They're just like I am
Em G
Baby, I can't go through this again
Em G
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
Em G
Just like a wild fire you're running all over town
Em G
As much as you burn me baby I should be ashes by now
Em G
Just like a wild fire You're running all over town
Em G
As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now
Em Ebm Dm G Em Ebm Dm G
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I should be ashes by now
Em Ebm Dm G
