Verse 1:

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

Dsus2/A A augmentedA
Dsus2/A A augmentedA
Dsus2/A A augmentedA
E MajorE A augmentedA

Verse 2:

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

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

Verse 3:

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

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