Chords

Written by Eric Nelson [Verse 1]
C   Am   F            C   G            Am  F          C
She said she'd rather be, she'd rather be, ashes than dust,

C   Am F          C    G            Am   F         C
Can we keep on hiding, keep on painting, over this rust?

C  Am      F           C        G     Am          F          C
Maybe you lost your desire, but baby, baby, don't put out my fire,

      C          Am          F            C     G          Am  F          C
Don't put out my fire, don't cool down my lust, I'd rather be, ashes than dust.
[Chorus 1]
G                        Am
You say you want to slow down,

G                  Am
Don't want no more nights out on the town.

F                     C        C  C     C  G           G           G            C
No more turning it up loud and it makes me frown, when you say you want to slow down.
[Verse 2]
C   Am   F            C   G            Am  F          C
She said she'd rather be, she'd rather be, ashes than dust,

C   Am F          C    G           Am    F         C
Can we keep on hiding, keep on painting, over this rust?

C  Am     F             C       G     Am          F          C
Maybe you lost your desire, but baby, baby, don't put out my fire,

      C          Am          F            C     G          Am  F          C
Don't put out my fire, don't cool down my lust, I'd rather be, ashes than dust.
[Chorus 2]
G                         Am
You say you don't want to dance,

G                  Am
But I can see your toes are tapping.

F                  C                   C    C  C G       G           G             C
C'mon just take my hand, but you won't give me a chance, you say you don't want to dance.
[Chorus 3]
G                         Am          G                   Am
You want to let go of the good times, but it feels like a real crime,

F                 C         C    C   C   G          G         G          C
Definitely a very bad sign, this you can trust. I'd rather be ashes than dust.
[Verse 3]
C    Am           F        C       G            Am   F      C
Hey, hey, my, my, hey, hey my, my, I'm going to live my own life.

C   Am  F    C         G         Am        F            C
My, my, hey, hey, it's better to burn out, than to fade away.
[Outro]
G          Am F          C
I'd rather be ashes than dust,

      G    Am       F        C
Let's keep painting over the rust.
