Gm Eb D Cm 


verse 1: 
       Bb       Gm 
Well I could be brief 
But what would that change? 
       Eb 
I just beg to borrow 
            Bb 
time Adding minutes 
Gm            Eb 
to my life To long for 
something I can't buy 
      Gm 
And I try to look 
like I'm fine 
            Eb 
But there's proof 
in every phrase 
          Bb 
And these rings 
 Gm 
around my tired 
         Eb 
eyes say something's 
gotta change 


Refrain 1: 
D 
Ashes ashes 
Gm 
Buried in  
his mattress 
 D 
Slept in flames 
     Gm 
And smothered 
           (hold) 
in his blanket 


Chorus 1: 
 Gm 
Stay with me 
Eb 
Bear with me 
       Bb 
I Am A novelty 
        D 
But I'm twice 
the man I used to 
      Gm 
be Oh agony (agony) 
Eb 
Bear with me 
       Bb 
I am a dying breed 
        D 
But I'm twice 
the man I used to 
   D 
be Ashes ashes 


verse 2: 
Gm 
  Well I do believe that 
       Eb 
our decline is pre-disposed 
       Bb       Gm 
But it keeps me on my 
       Eb 
toes I can't accept 
what I can't control 
      Gm 
And I pray that 
I can be cured 
    Eb 
And never leave 
this place 
     Bb     Gm 
Lady luck beyond 
my sight as I'm 
     Eb 
just withering away 


(Repeat Refrain 1) 


Chorus 2: 
 Gm 
Stay with me 
Eb 
Bear with me 
       Bb

      Gm 
be Oh agony (agony) 
Eb 
Bear with me 
       Bb 
I am a dying breed

But I'm twice 
                    D-- 
the man I used to be

And     it's too 
F 
late for me 
Gm Dm 
     I've been 
Eb        F      Gm  Dm 
  talking in my sleep 
Eb 
  And I've got 
F          Gm     Eb D 
nothing to say to me 


Refrain 2:

Ashes ashes

Buried in

Slept in flames 
     Eb 
And smothered
