Em             G 
Ashley are you running around? 
        D                    A 
Are you crying out in bloody murder? 
Em             G 
Ashley are you bumming around? 
       D                 A 
You're crying on my cold shoulder 


verse 1: 

Em            G               D                Em 
  You used to dangle my heart with your puppet strings 
Em            G                  D              B 
  You dangled your desires right in front of my face 
Em           G               D               Em 
  You led me to the well but wouldn't let me drink 
Em              G             D            Em 
  Swallowing my pride I never even got the taste 



    C          G              D        Em 
But time comes around and I'm not so naive 
  C            G                   D         Em 
I finally lost touch 'cause you're so out of reach 
    C               G          D             Em 
You say that you're fine but I know that you ain't 
       C            G               B 
You're looking like hell and you're no fucking saint 


Chorus x2 


Bridge: 

    D             Em 
You are where you are 
  D         Em 
A wish on a shooting star 
    C            G             D 
You are a filthy thought in my memory 


verse 2: 

Em            G              D              Em 
  I taste the cigarettes and liquor on your breath 
Em           G                 D                B 
  We used to call it speed but now it's crystal meth 
Em            G                    D             Em 
  Back when I loved you but you're scaring me to death 
Em              G          D                Em 
  This careless memory and now I could care less 


Refrain 


Chorus x2 


Em 
Ashley!
