View chords used in this chart
[Intro ]
G
[Verso 1]
G
Rings and Ashes, beginnings to endings
Am
And clashes of the white horse with white noise
C G
Did you mean it when you said you loved me?
G Am
You had the matches , you lit the fire without me
C G
and decided to burn it, before we even had a chance
[Pré-Refrão]
Am
Ive got burn scars
C
from your self-sabotage
[Refrão]
G
Did you think about me
Am
When you took your axe to that tree?
C
All the life you had to steal
Am
To build your house up on the hill
G
Ill never know what really mattered
Am C
To you were just ashes scattered
G
I tried to hold my breath the smoke was
Am
just too thick for me to see through
C G
but the signs were all there
[Pré-Refrão]
Am
Ive got burn scars
C
From your mirage
[Refrão]
G
Did you think about me
Am
When you took your axe to that tree?
C
All the life you had to steal
Am
To build your house up on the hill
G
Ill never know what really mattered
Am C
To you were just ashes scattered
G
I tried to hold my breath the smoke was
Am
just too thick for me to see through
C G
but the signs were all there
[Ponte]
Am
mirror mirror on the wall
C
Whos the saddest of them all
Am
I wish I could bury flames
G D
And all this would go away,
Am
But now were on a different page
C
In a new book that was made
Am
With the same flattened paper
D C
from the same tall cedar
{Final Chorus}
G
Did you think about me
Am
When you took your axe to that tree?
C
All the life you had to steal
Am
To build your house up on the hill
G
from smoke clouds to smoke screens
Am C
you always fooled me
G
I dont know if Ill be
Am
Ever that ready
{Post Chorus}
Am
Ive got burn scars
C
from your self-sabotage
