My Ashes

Intro -  Dm, Bbsus2, G

Dm                    Bbsus2
All the things that I needed
G
Wasted my chances
Dm                  Bbsus2
I have found myself wanting
Dm                Bbsus2 G             Dm
When a mother and father gave me their problems
                G
I accepted them all
Dm             Bbsus2
Nothing ever expected
G       Dm
I was rejected
                    Bbsus2
But I came back for more  

Chorus

Bb|5-                  A
And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky  
        G                             A
Where a boy rides on a bike and never smiles  
Bb|5-                 A
And my ashes fall on all the things we said  
     G                            F, D, A, F, D, A

On a box of photographs under the bed  
 
I will stay in my own world
Under the covers  
I will feel save inside
 
A kiss that will burn me  
Cure me of dreaming  
I was always returning  
 
And my ashes find a way beyond the fog
And return to save the child that I forgot
And my ashes fade among the things unseen  
And the dream plays in reverse on piano-keys
 
And my ashes drown upon a (           )    
Never ending clouds of rain and distant sails  
And distant sails
