Verse:
A                        E
I hear the floorboards, groan beneath my shoes,
F#m                                      D
This house remembers, every scar, every bruise.
A                                             E
The fires long gone, but the smoke still clings,
F#m                                   D
Your whisper lingers, in the quiet things.


Chorus:
A                   E               F#m            D
Ashes on the windowpane, time can’t wash away the stain,
A                                 E
I’m left with shadows, left with pain,
D                                A
And the night, just calls your name.


Verse:
A                      E
The mirror shows me, a man I don’t know,
F#m                                        D
Lines on my face, like rivers that won’t flow.
              A                     E
The table is set, but no-one comes by,
F#m                               D
I drink with silence, and a heavy sigh.

Chorus:
A               E               F#m                       D
Ashes on the windowpane, the years still cut me just the same,
A                                E
I’m left with memories, I can’t take,
D                                A
And the ring, still speaks your name.

Bridge:
F#m                        C#m7
Every night I reach, for a hand that’s gone,
D                                  E
But the room keeps singing, that same sad song.


Chorus:
A                E                F#m                 D
Ashes on the windowpane, love is lost but the walls remain,
A                                        E
I walk along through the years, I’ve known,
D                               A
And still the night, won’t let me go.

A                      E
Ashes linger, and so do I
