Tracy Chapman – Smoke And Ashes chords

Asus2                 EI'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk
Asus2                            EAbout the trail you'd left of broken hearts
Asus2                            EAbout the sea of tears too wide to cross
Asus2                            EBut a little bad press has never scared me off
Asus2             So I burned a path to figure out
EHow to get me some of what you got 

Asus2I've got a red hot heart
EIf the talk is true yours is the same
Asus2And we should be together
EAnd let our passions fan love's flame 

Asus2                          EWhen I looked for you I almost passed you by
Asus2    You were so cool and calm
EI thought my friends had lied
Asus2                                       EBut I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside
Asus2It was there and then that I knew 
EI had to get some of what you got 

Asus2I've got a red hot heart
EIf the talk is true yours is the same
Asus2And we should be together
EAnd let our passions fan love's flame 

Asus2                                           EI thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand //
 in mine // 
Asus2                                            EI thought it was true love the way we complemented //
... each other
Asus2But my right is your wrong
                               EAnd when you're right then I'm left // 
...with nothing
Asus2                                   EYour light and your heat have all been spent...
Leaving only smoke and ashes

Asus                      EOnly smoke and ashes baby 

Asus2  I've got a red hot heart
EAnd your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
Asus2I say there's fire down below
EYou say it's only smoke and ashes baby 

Am7I'm crying all the time
Em7Salty stinging tears
Am7                       Em7And mourning for the past carbon-dated years
Am7                         Em7    But knowing now for certain that you were always right
Am7                               Em7Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life
EIt's only smoke and ashes baby
                         Asus2       EOnly smoke and ashes baby 
Asus2I've got a red hot heart
E                               Asus2               E   And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins 
Asus2I say there's fire down below
E                                 Asus2         E             You say it's only smoke and ashes baby 

Am7I was blinded by devotion
Em7My unwavering love for you
Am7                        Em7So blinded that I thought all your lies were true
Am7                         Em7But now I know for certain since you've gone away
Am7                             Em7It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze
E                                EOnly smoke and ashes baby ....

Asus2I've got a red hot heart
E                              Asus2                EAnd your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins 
Asus2I say there's fire down below
E                                 Asus2You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
E                         Asus2Only smoke and ashes baby, baby
