[Verse 1]

Dsus2/A       A
I wrote you a letter
Dsus2/A   A
Late last night
Dsus2/A          A
The words on the paper
   F#m            E
My true heart's desire
Dsus2/A            A
Now in this bright morning
Dsus2/A        A
Oh, what did I find?
Dsus2/A        A
No sign of the letter
      E      A
Ashes on the fire

Dsus2/A A
Dsus2/A A
Dsus2/A A
E A

[Verse 2]

Dsus2/A              A
This morning brought sorrow
Dsus2/A              A
This morning brought tears
Dsus2/A             A
They bloomed like a flower
     F#m          E
From deep-seated fears

Dsus2/A          A
My words like an arrow
Dsus2/A       A
Aimed so much higher
Dsus2/A       A
My bow broke asunder
      E      A
Ashes on the fire

[Verse 3]

Dsus2/A         A
I know that you weary
Dsus2/A            A
Of this life we've made
Dsus2/A          A
In silence I sit here
    F#m      E
And read the flames

Dsus2/A          A
Come sit down beside me
Dsus2/A           A
You ghosts of the pyre
Dsus2/A       A
And nightly remind me
      E      A
Ashes on the fire
      E      A
Ashes on the fire
      E      A
Ashes on the fire
