Am
There's a shaddow on the dashboard tonight
C
Moonlight bleeding through the Tennesse sky
G
I got your name rollin off my tongue

Like a pray I can't out run

Every mile feels colder somehow

Since you turned and walked out
G
But your memory still leaves a spark
Am
And baby it's burning in my heart
[Verso 2]
Am
I still hear your boots on my old floor
C
Still see a jacket hanging by the door
G
Every whiskey glass and every neon light
Am
Keeps pulling me back into last July
Am
I was stuck running wild and free
Am
Thought forever wasn't meant for me
C
But now these empty roads cut like a knife
G Am
And your ghost keeps riding shotgun every night
Am
Hmm I tried drowning flames in the pouring rain
C
But loving you still runs through my veins
G
No matter where this broken road may start
[Refrão]

You're still burning in my heart

Even with the miles and the midnight smoke

There's a diner off an old dirt road
Am
Where we carved our names years ago

I stopped betting that around closing time
G G Am
And swore I still saw your eyes and mine
Am
I've been dancing with strangers downtown
Am
Trying hard to forget you now
C
But every song coming through that barroom haze
G Am
Sounds like a soundtrack to our old days

We were fire mixed with gasoline

Too reckless for forever dreams

But even ashes leave their mark

Maybe some love never really died

Maybe some flame survived goodbye

Still carry a light through the scars

And if forever means holding this pain

Then I'll walk through every storm again

Burning slow beneath my soul

Like a remember I can't control
