G 
Put your words into the fire 
                                   C 
Watch them burn your heart's desire 
                  D 
Rise up in the air 
     G                           C 
In a cloud of silk and smoke and dust 
              D 
Fade into the night 
                  Bm           C   D      G 
It's a comforting feel with you by my side 

G                          
Let me shake your honest hands 
                             C 
And I'll sit down beside you now 
               D 
Lean our heavy heads 
       G                                     C 
Of the weight of the things that are left unsaid  
      D 
Don't worry about it now 
             G       D                     C     D      G 
Cause in the morning they will all just be ashes on the ground 

                       C     D 
So what's been on your mind 
G      Bm  C     D 
Eating you inside 
G      Bm          C     D 
Taking all of your time 
        C           G 
On this warm summer night 
Bb                             G 
Put your words down in the fire 

                               G 
When we were down at sandy beach 
                   G           C 
Old man talking in young man's words 
        G               D 
Tell me where you would like to be 
G                               C 
Tonight don't be afraid to dream 
            G      D     
Lean on the fire a while 
             G       D                   C     D      G 
Cause in the morning it will all just be ashes on the ground 

                       C     D 
So what's been on your mind 
G      Bm  C     D 
Eating you inside 
G      Bm          C     D 
Taking all of your time 
        C           G 
On this warm summer night 
Bb                             G 
Put your words down in the fire
