Written by: Rodney Crowell Ashes by Now Rodney Crowell G This morning is Monday Where are you now? Dm C Teasin' my memory Teaching me how to lay low when I don't want to G Your love is elusive this I know now It's making me crazy Leaving me out Dm C In the open When I don't want to G C G I don't know why you do that to me (really low, soft volumn) go to lead G The moments of pleasures Never do last Dm C C7 Are gone like a suitcase full of your past Long gone, and in a hurry CHORUS: Em G Baby, I can't go through this again Em G I don't need to go down More then I've already been Em G Just like a wild fire You're running all over town Em G As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now G The second street beggars alone in they life Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night Dm C Like I am They're just like I am chorus Em G Just like a wild fire You're running all over town Em G As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now Ending : Aaaaaahh Aaaaaahh Should be ashes by now
